The reason why rivers and seas receive the homage of a hundred mountain streams is that they keep below them. Thus they are able to reign over all the mountain streams. So the sage, wishing to be above men, putteth himself below them; wishing to be before them, he putteth himself behind them. Thus, though his place be above men, they do not feel his weight; though his place be before them, they do not count it an injury.

Additional quotes by Dale Carnegie

This is the day of dramatisation. Merely stating a truth isn’t enough. The truth has to be made vivid, interesting, dramatic. You have to use showmanship. The movies do it. Television does it. And you will have to do it if you want attention.

The habit of finding fault, of reprimanding — this was my reward to you for being a boy. It was not that I did not love you; it was that I expected too much of youth. I was measuring you by the yardstick of my own years.

دعنا نحاول توضيح الخصال المحمودة في الإنسان الآخر. ثم نسيان التملق، وامنح غيرك التقدير الأمين المخلص. ولتكن شجاعاً في استحسانك وسخياً في مديحك. ولسوف يقدر الناس كلماتك ويعتزون بها ويكررونها لسنوات بعد أن تكون قد نسيتها أنت تماماً.إن الذي يمكنه أن يفعل هذا يمتلك العالم كله، ومن لا يقدر فإنه يسير في طريق موحش
