Additional quotes by Dale Carnegie
If you and I go around grumbling about ingratitude, who is to blame? Is it human nature — or is it our ignorance of human nature? Let’s not expect gratitude. Then, if we get some occasionally, it will come as a delightful surprise. If we don’t get it, we won’t be disturbed.
