We can't win friends with a scowling face and an upbraiding voice.
How to Win Friends and Influence People.
You can't win an argument. You can't because if you lose it, you lose it; and if you win it, you lose it.
Winning friends begins with friendliness.
If you want to win friends, make it a point to remember them. If you remember my name, you pay me a subtle compliment; you indicate that I have made an impression on you. Remember my name and you add to my feeling of importance.
One can win the attention and time and cooperation of even the most sought-after people by becoming genuinely interested in them.
When fate hands us a lemon, let's try to make a lemonade
Remember that a man's name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in the English language.
Remember happiness doesn't depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think
You can make more friends in two months by becoming more interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you
Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours
Feeling sorry for yourself, and you present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.
Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.
