More quotes by Dale Carnegie
Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.
Dale Carnegie
We all have possibilities we don't know about. We can do things we don't even dream we can do. It's only when necessity faces us that we rise to the occasion and actually do the things that hitherto have seemed impossible.
Dale Carnegie
Mix judgement with ambition and season it with energy. It makes a splendid recipe for success.
Dale Carnegie
Face the thing that seems overwhelming and you will be surprised how your fear will melt away.
Dale Carnegie
Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto.
Dale Carnegie
Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today.
Dale Carnegie
An effective speaker knows that the success or failure of his talk is not for him to decide - it will be decided in the minds and hearts of his hearers.
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
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
To be interesting, be interested.
Dale Carnegie
Many people think that if they were only in some other place, or had some other job, they would be happy. Well, that is doubtful. So get as much happiness out of what you are doing as you can and don't put off being happy until some future date.
Dale Carnegie
What is the answer to this fatigue? Relax! Relax! Relax! Learn to relax while you are doing your work!
Dale Carnegie
When I asked him -Mr.Henry Ford- if he ever worried, he replied: No. I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe that every-thing will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about?
Dale Carnegie
Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.
Dale Carnegie
Naturalness is the easiest thing in the world to acquire, if you will forget yourself-forget about the impression you are trying to make.
Dale Carnegie
If half a century of living has taught me anything at all, it has taught me that nothing can bring you peace but yourself.
Dale Carnegie
90% of all management problems are caused by miscommunication.
Dale Carnegie
You can get ahead in the world. But you will have to work, you will have to want tremendously to accomplish something, and then be willing to pay the price. Are you willing?
Dale Carnegie
Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed we possessed.
Dale Carnegie
Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do. But it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.
