Dale Carnegie quotes about
The rare individual who honestly satisfies this heart-hunger (praise) will hold people in the palm of his hand, and even the undertaker will be sorry when he dies
If you do something for someone else, never remember. If someone does something for you, never forget.
If you must make a mistake, make a new one each time.
By all means take thought for the tomorrow, yes, careful thought and planning and preparation. But have no anxiety.
When we hate our enemies, we are giving them power over us: power over our sleep, our appetites, our blood pressure, our health, and our happiness.
Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.
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.
Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, ‘I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you.
Let's fight for our happiness by following a daily program of cheerful and constructive thinking.
If you want to develop courage, do the thing you fear and keep on doing it until you have a record of successful experiences behind you. That is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear. You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind.
Let's never try to get even with our enemies, because if we do we will hurt ourselves far more than we hurt them. Let's do as General Eisenhower does: let's never waste a minute thinking about people we don't like.
One of the worst features about worrying is that it destroys our ability to concentrate. When we worry, our minds jump here and there and everywhere, and we lose all power of decision. However, when we force ourselves to face the worst and accept it mentally, we then eliminate all those vague imaginings and put ourselves in a position in which we are able to concentrate on our problem.
Nobody is more persuasive than a good listener
Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement. Be hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise.
