13. Quotes from Dale Carnegie’s Book
When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic.
"A great man shows his greatness," said Carlyle, "by the way he treats little men.“
Instead of condemning people, let's try to understand them. Let's try to figure out why they
do what they do. That's a lot more profitable and intriguing than criticism; and it breeds
sympathy, tolerance and kindness. "To know all is to forgive all.“
If you argue and rankle and contradict, you may achieve a victory sometimes; but it will
be an empty victory because you will never get your opponent's good will.
Listen first. Give your opponents a chance to talk. Let them finish. Do not resist, defend or
debate. This only raises barriers. Try to build bridges of understanding. Don't build higher
barriers of misunderstanding.
Accept the mistake. Disarm the person and bring him to your side rather than defending
your position
