Dale Carnegie

“You can close more business in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you.”

“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.”

“Fear not those who argue but those who dodge.”

“Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.”

“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.”

“Fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind.”

“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.”

“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.”

“If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done.”

“Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.”

“Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.”

“Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed we possessed.”

“Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.”

“The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure.”

“Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours.”

“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.”

“If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”

“Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today. Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto.”

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”

“The person who seeks all their applause from outside has their happiness in another's keeping .”

“The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.”
