If You Want To Be Enthusiastic, Act

In Talking With People, Don't Begin By Discussing The Things On Which You Differ. Begin By Emphasizing - And Keep On Emphasizing - The Things On Which You Agree. Keep Emphasizing, If Possible, That You Are Both Striving For The Same End And That Your Only Difference Is One Of Method And Not Of Purpose.

Winning Friends Begins With Friendliness.

The Royal Road To A Man's Heart Is To Talk To Him About The Things He Treasures Most.

Create Accomplishment From Disappointments. Demoralization And Disappointment Are Two Of The Surest Going Stones To Achievement.

Why Prove To A Man He Is Wrong? Is That Going To Make Him Like You? Why Not Let Him Save Face? He Didn't Ask For Your Opinion. He Didn't Want It. Why Argue With Him? You Can't Win An Argument, Because If You Lose, You Lose It; And If You Win It, You Lose It. Why? You Will Feel Fine. But What About Him? You Have Made Him Feel Inferior, You Hurt His Pride, Insult His Intelligence, His Judgment, And His Self-respect, And He'll Resent Your Triumph. That Will Make Him Strike Back, But It Will Never Make Him Want To Change His Mind. A Man Convinced Against His Will Is Of The Same Opinion Still.
