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
Image
If you and I want to stir up a resentment tomorrow that may rankle across the decades and endure until death, just let us indulge in a little stinging criticism - no matter how certain we are that it is justified.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Don't be afraid of enemies who attack you. Be afraid of the friends who flatter you.
Dale Carnegie
Image
If we think happy thoughts, we will be happy. If we think miserable thoughts, we will be miserable.
Dale Carnegie

If you disagree with them you may be tempted to interrupt. But don't. It is dangerous. They won't pay attention to you while they still have a lot of ideas of their own crying for expression. So listen patiently and with an open mind.
Dale Carnegie

The most important thing in life is not simply to capitalize on your gains. Any fool can do that. The important thing is to profit from your losses. That requires intelligence, and makes the difference between a man of sense and a fool.
Dale Carnegie

The thing is to get the work done.
Dale Carnegie
Image
No matter what happens, always be yourself.
Dale Carnegie
Image
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
Image
Don't Criticize, Condemn, Or Complain.
Dale Carnegie
Image
The biggest lesson I have learned is the stupendous importance of what we think. If I knew what you think, I would know what you are, for your thoughts make you what you are by changing our thoughts, we can change our lives.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Every day I pray. I yield myself to God and the tensions and anxieties go out of me and peace and power come in.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Appreciation is the legal tender that all souls enjoy.

Only the prepared speaker deserves to be confident.
Dale Carnegie

If you have worries, there is no better way to eliminate them than by walking them off. Just take them out for a walk. They may take wings and fly away!

History has repeatedly been changed by people who had the desire and the ability to transfer their convictions and emotions to their listeners.
