More quotes by Dale Carnegie
If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.
Dale Carnegie
It never hurts a fool to appear before an audience, for his capacity is not a capacity for feeling.
Dale Carnegie

Dale Carnegie

You never achieve success unless you like what you are doing.
Dale Carnegie
Looking at the other person's point of view and arousing in him an eager want for something is not to be construed as manipulating that person so that he will do something that is only for your benefit and his detriment. Each party should gain from the negotiation.
Dale Carnegie
It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.
Dale Carnegie
Act enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic.
Dale Carnegie
You are going to survive. And good things are going to start to happen again. And one day you are going to look back and this will not even be such a bad thing
Dale Carnegie
Let's never try to get even with our enemies, because if we do we will hurt ourselves far more than we hurt them. Let's do as General Eisenhower does: let's never waste a minute thinking about people we don't like.
Dale Carnegie
People like people who help them like themselves.
Dale Carnegie
If you want to gather honey, don't kick over the beehive.
Dale Carnegie
