Dale Carnegie

"My popularity, my happiness and sense of worth depend to no small extent upon my skill in dealing with people."

begin in a quiet conversational tone

it is like taking a cold plunge:

The bravest know fear, but they do not yield to it

In your audience lies some victory for you and the cause you represent.

The world owes its progress to the men who have dared,

what you need is not sympathy, but a push.

Success or failure in business is caused more by mental attitude even than by mental capacity

the only way to acquire it is—to acquire it.
