More quotes by Dale Carnegie
We all have possibilities we don't know about. We can do things we don't even dream we can do.
Dale Carnegie
Even in such technical lines as engineering, about 15% of one's financial success is due one's technical knowledge and about 85% is due to skill in human engineering, to personality and the ability to lead people.
Dale Carnegie
Pay less attention to what men say. Just watch what they do.
Dale Carnegie
If your own mind is muddled, much more will the minds of your hearers be confused.
Dale Carnegie
The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure.

Dale Carnegie
The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.
Dale Carnegie
It isn’t what you have or who you are or where you are or what you’re doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It’s what you think of it. Two people may in the same place doing the same thing, and yet one may be miserable and the other happy. Why? Because of a different mental attitude.
Dale Carnegie
Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto.
Dale Carnegie

Dale Carnegie
Instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire.
Dale Carnegie
Do things for others and you'll find your self-consciousness evaporating like morning dew.
Dale Carnegie
STOP AND LOOK out the window and see how beautiful the world is. It is there-enjoy it. Go out tonight and look up at the stars. They are the wonders of nature
Dale Carnegie
When ill luck besets us, to ease the tension we have only to remember that happiness is relative. The next time you are tempted to grumble about what has happened to you, why not pause and be glad that it is no worse than it is.
Dale Carnegie
The ability to speak well is the shortcut to distinction.
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
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 world is filled with interesting things to do. Don't lead a dull life in such a thrilling world.
Dale Carnegie
Talk to anyone about himself positively and he'll listen without interruption.
Dale Carnegie
One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.
Dale Carnegie
