More quotes by 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
Try honest to see things from the other person's point of view.
Dale Carnegie
You are merely not feeling equal to the tasks before you.
Dale Carnegie
Life truly is a boomerang. What you give, you get.
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
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
When two partners always agree, one of them is not necessary. If there is some point you haven't thought about, be thankful if it is brought to your attention.
Dale Carnegie
Encouragement makes a fault easy to correct, and a challenge easy to take on.
Dale Carnegie
There is a reason why the other man thinks and acts as he does. Ferret out that reason — and you have the key to his actions, perhaps to his personality. Try honestly to put yourself in his place.
Dale Carnegie
When fate hands you a lemon, make lemonade.
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
What is the answer to this fatigue? Relax! Relax! Relax! Learn to relax while you are doing your work!
Dale Carnegie
Look your audience straight in the eyes, and begin to talk as if every one of them owed you money.
Dale Carnegie
Today is our most precious possession. It is our only sure possession.
Dale Carnegie
Learn to love, respect and enjoy other people.
Dale Carnegie
Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.
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 .
Dale Carnegie
Stop worrying and start living.
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
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
