B.F. Skinner, the world-famous psychologist, proved through his experiments that an animal rewarded for good behaviour will learn much more rapidly and retain what it learns far more effectively than an animal punished for bad behaviour.

Additional quotes by Dale Carnegie

"Buda dijo: "El odio nunca es vencido por el odio sino por el amor", y un malentendido no termina nunca gracias una discusión sino gracias al tacto, la diplomacia, la conciliación, y un sincero deseo de apreciar el punto de vista de los demás."

Flaming enthusiasm, backed by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success.
