Quotations by Dale Carnegie

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


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.


If you want to be enthusiastic,
act enthusiastic.


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

If you want to gather honey,
don't kick over the beehive.

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.


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.

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


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




You never achieve success unless you like what you are doing.


If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there and worrying.
It's the worry that gets you, not the loss of sleep.


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.


We all have possibilities we don't know about.
We can do things we don't even dream we can do.


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