More quotes by 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
Image
The way to defeat fear: decide on a course of conduct and follow it. Keep so busy and work so hard that you forget about being afraid.
Dale Carnegie
Image
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

Dale Carnegie
Image
Close your eyes. You might try saying. . . something like this: The sun is shining overhead. The sky is blue and sparkling. Nature is calm and in control of the world-and I, as nature's child, am in tune with the Universe. Or-better still-pray!
Dale Carnegie
Image
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.

Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs.
Dale Carnegie
Image
By fighting you never get enough, but by yielding you get more than you expected.
Dale Carnegie

Appreciation is the legal tender that all souls enjoy.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Encouragement makes a fault easy to correct, and a challenge easy to take on.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt. Relevant detail, couched in concrete, colorful language, is the best way to recreate the incident as it happened and to picture it for the audience.
Dale Carnegie
Image
People are not interested in you. They are not interested in me. They are interested in themselves - morning, noon and after dinner.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.
