All the king’s horses and all the king’s men can’t put the past together again. So let’s remember: Don’t try to saw sawdust.
- Dale Carnegie -
Did you ever see an unhappy horse? Did you ever see bird that had the blues? One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses.
- Dale Carnegie -
If you can’t sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It’s the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.

The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.
- Dale Carnegie -
You’ll never achieve real success unless you like what you’re doing.

As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say.
I just watch what they do.
- Andrew Carnegie -
The man who acquires the ability to take full possession of his own mind
may take possession of anything else to which he is justly entitled.
- Andrew Carnegie -
Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.
- Andrew Carnegie -
People who are unable to motivate themselves
must be content with mediocrity,
no matter how impressive their other talents.

I Promise Myself
To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.
To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.
To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.
