More quotes by Dale Carnegie
The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped them from Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. And I put them in a book.
Dale Carnegie
Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today.
Dale Carnegie
Close your eyes. You might try saying. . . something like this: The sun is shining overhead. The sky is blue and sparkling. Nature is calm and in control of the world-and I, as nature's child, am in tune with the Universe. Or-better still-pray!
Dale Carnegie
Don't be afraid of enemies who attack you. Be afraid of the friends who flatter you.
Dale Carnegie
Almost all the progress ever made in human thought has been made by the Doubting Thomas's, the questioners, the challengers, the show-me crowd.
Dale Carnegie
The thing is to get the work done.
Dale Carnegie
I honestly believe that this is one of the greatest secrets to true peace of mind -- a decent sense of values. We could annihilate 50 percent of all our worries at once if we would develop a sort of private gold standard -- a gold standard of what things are worth to us in terms of our lives.
Dale Carnegie
If only the people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess, they would stop worrying.
Dale Carnegie
You never achieve success unless you like what you are doing.
Dale Carnegie
Encouragement makes a fault easy to correct, and a challenge easy to take on.
Dale Carnegie
If you tell me how you get your feeling of importance, I'll tell you what you are.
Dale Carnegie
You can sing only what you are. You can paint only what you are. You must be what your experiences, your environment, and your heredity have made you. For better or for worse, you must play your own little instrument in the orchestra of life.
Dale Carnegie
People like people who help them like themselves.
Dale Carnegie
We nourish the bodies of our children and friends and employees, but how seldom do we nourish their selfesteem? We provide them with roast beef and potatoes to build energy, but we neglect to give them kind words of appreciation that would sing in their memories for years like the music of the morning stars.
Dale Carnegie
The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.
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
Don't you have much more faith in ideas that you discover for yourself than in ideas that are handed to you on a silver platter?
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
If you want others to like you, if you want to develop real friendships, if you want to help others at the same time as you help yourself, keep this principle in mind: Become genuinely interested in other people.
Dale Carnegie
If we think happy thoughts, we will be happy. If we think miserable thoughts, we will be miserable.
