More quotes by Dale Carnegie
Pay less attention to what men say. Just watch what they do.
Dale Carnegie
Begin with praise and honest appreciation. Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly. Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person. Ask questions instead of giving direct orders. Make the fault easy to correct. Make the other person happy about doing what you suggest.
Dale Carnegie
The ability to speak well is the shortcut to distinction.
Dale Carnegie
People like people who help them like themselves.
Dale Carnegie
You never achieve success unless you like what you are doing.
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
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
Fear is the result of a lack of confidence. A lack of confidence is the result of not knowing what you can do. A lack of knowing what you can do is caused by a lack of experience. A lack of experience is caused by a lack of doing something new.
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
Mix judgement with ambition and season it with energy. It makes a splendid recipe for success.
Dale Carnegie
Neither you nor I nor Einstein nor the Supreme Court of the United States is brilliant enough to reach an intelligent decision on any problem without first getting the facts
Dale Carnegie
When fate hands you a lemon, make lemonade.
Dale Carnegie
You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself.
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
I deal with the obvious. I present, reiterate, and glorify the obvious - because the obvious is what people need to be told.
Dale Carnegie
You are going to survive. And good things are going to start to happen again. And one day you are going to look back and this will not even be such a bad thing
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
By talking to yourself about the things you have to be grateful for you can fill your mind with thoughts that soar and sing.
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
Once I did bad and that I heard ever. Twice I did good, but that I heard never.
Dale Carnegie
