More quotes by Dale Carnegie
Learning is an active process. We learn by doing.. Only knowledge that is used sticks in your mind.
Dale Carnegie
It never hurts a fool to appear before an audience, for his capacity is not a capacity for feeling.
Dale Carnegie
Your smile brightens the lives of all who see it.
Dale Carnegie
Each nation feels superior to other nations. That breeds patriotism - and wars.
Dale Carnegie
Tomorrow you may want to persuade somebody to do something. Before you speak, pause and as yourself, How can I make this person want to do it?
Dale Carnegie
The words Think and Thank are inscribed in many of the Cromwellian churches of England. These words ought to be inscribed in our hearts, too: Think and Thank. Think of all we have to be grateful for, and thank God for all our boons and bounties.
Dale Carnegie
Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.
Dale Carnegie
The world is so full of people who are grabbing and self-seeking. So the rare individual who unselfishly tries to serve others has an enormous advantage. He has little competition.
Dale Carnegie
You must have a good time meeting people if you expect them to have a good time meeting you.
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
When the friendly jailer gave Socrates the poison cup to drink, the jailer said: Try to bear lightly what needs must be. Socrates did. He faced death with a calmness and resignation that touched the hem of divinity.
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
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
You are something new in this world. Never before, since the beginning of time, has there ever been anybody exactly like you and never again throughout all the ages to come will there ever be anybody exactly like you again.
Dale Carnegie
Any fool can try to defend his or her mistakes- and most fools do- but it raises one above the herd and gives one a feeling of nobility and exultation to admit one's mistakes.
Dale Carnegie
Unjust criticism is usually disguised compliment. It often means that you have aroused jealously and envy. Remember that no one ever kicks a dead log.
Dale Carnegie
The very best way in all the world to overcome self-consciousn ess and shyness is to get interested in other people and to think of them and, almost miraculously, your timidity will pass. Do something for other people. Practice deeds of kindness, acts of friendliness, and you'll be surprised to see what happens.
Dale Carnegie
Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.
Dale Carnegie
People are not interested in you. They are not interested in me. They are interested in themselves - morning, noon and after dinner.
Dale Carnegie
'When you have a lemon, make a lemonade.' That is what a great educator does. But the fool does the exact opposite. If he finds that life has handed him a lemon, he gives up and says, 'I 'm beaten. It is fate. I haven't got a chance.' Then he proceeds to rail against the world and indulge in an orgy of self-pity .
