quotes by Dale Carnegie

You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.

Remember happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think.

Do you remember the things you were worrying about a year ago? How did they work out? Didn't you waste a lot of fruitless energy on account of most of them? Didn't most of them turn out all right after all?

One of the tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon - instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

Flaming enthusiasm, backed by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success.

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