More quotes by Dale Carnegie
'When you have a lemon, make a lemonade.' That is what a great educator does. But the fool does the exact opposite. If he finds that life has handed him a lemon, he gives up and says, 'I 'm beaten. It is fate. I haven't got a chance.' Then he proceeds to rail against the world and indulge in an orgy of self-pity .
Dale Carnegie

When you're afraid keep your mind on what you have to do. And if you have been thoroughly prepared you will not be afraid.

We talk a lot about the importance of physical exercise to wake us up out of the half sleep in which so many of us walk around. But we need, even more, some spiritual and mental exercises every morning to stir us into action. Give yourself a pep talk every day.
Dale Carnegie
People are not interested in you. They are not interested in me. They are interested in themselves - morning, noon and after dinner.
Dale Carnegie
You are something new in this world. Never before, since the beginning of time, has there ever been anybody exactly like you and never again throughout all the ages to come will there ever be anybody exactly like you again.
Dale Carnegie
John Wanamaker, founder of the stores that bear his name, once confessed: I learned thirty years ago that it is foolish to scold. I have enough trouble overcoming my own limitations without fretting over the fact that God has not seen fit to distribute evenly the gift of intelligence.
Dale Carnegie
Fear is the result of a lack of confidence. A lack of confidence is the result of not knowing what you can do. A lack of knowing what you can do is caused by a lack of experience. A lack of experience is caused by a lack of doing something new.
Dale Carnegie
This is the only chance you will ever have on earth with this exciting adventure called life. So why not plan it, and try to live it as richly, as happily as possible?
Dale Carnegie
Try to fix firmly in your mind what you would like to do and then, without veering off direction, you will move straight to the goal.
Dale Carnegie
Let's not imitate others.Let's find ourselves and be ourselves.
Dale Carnegie
If we think happy thoughts, we will be happy. If we think miserable thoughts, we will be miserable.
Dale Carnegie
Speakers who talk about what life has taught them never fail to keep the attention of their listeners.
Dale Carnegie
You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind.
