[Quote No.39737] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"Thank You...
For reaching out when the need was there,
For sparing a thought in someone's despair,
For shedding some light on a darkened day,
And helping a friend to find their way.
The kindness you showed meant so much to me,
It's locked in my heart for eternity." - Kathy Valentine

[Quote No.705] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"The Value of a Smile... It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None are so rich that they can get along without it, and none so poor but are richer for its benefits. It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends. It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and Nature’s best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody till it is given away. [If someone is too tired to give you a smile, leave one of yours. For, nobody needs a smile so much, as those who have none to give.]" - Frank Irving Fletcher

[Quote No.720] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"I admitted that he was absolutely right and I was absolutely wrong; I admitted it quickly, openly, and with enthusiasm. The affair terminated graciously by my taking his side and his taking my side...Isn’t it much easier to listen to self-criticism than to bear condemnation from alien lips? Say about yourself all the derogatory things you know the other person is thinking or wants to say or intends to say – and say them before he has a chance to say them – and you take the wind out of his sails. The chances are a hundred to one that he will then take a generous, forgiving attitude and minimize your mistakes...any fool can try to defend himself – and most fools do – but it raises one above the herd and gives one a feeling of nobility and exaltation to admit one’s mistakes." - Dale Carnegie

[Quote No.722] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"…no man ever criticizes himself for anything, no matter how wrong he may be. Criticism is futile because it puts a man on the defensive, and usually makes him strive to justify himself. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a man’s precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses his resentment…If you and I want to stir up resentment tomorrow that may rankle across the decades and endure until death, just let us indulge in a little stinging criticism – no matter how certain we are that it is justified.

"Scolding parents and domineering bosses and husbands and nagging wives ought to realize that people don’t want to change their minds. They can’t be forced or driven to agree with you or me. But they might possibly be led to, if we are gentle and friendly, ever so gentle and ever so friendly...No bulldozing. No high-pressure methods…[rather] the friendly, sympathetic, appreciative approach…gentleness and friendliness were always stronger than fury and force. " - Dale Carnegie

"Wouldn’t you like to have a magic phrase that would stop argument, eliminate ill feeling, create good will, and make the other person listen attentively? …Here it is…’I don’t blame you one iota for feeling as you do. If I were you, I should undoubtedly feel just as you do….And you can say that and be one hundred per cent sincere, because if you were the other person, of course you would feel just as he does…Three-fourths of the people you will meet tomorrow are hungering and thirsting for sympathy [for their feelings, ideas and viewpoints]. Give it to them and they will love you. " - Dale Carnegie in ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People’

"A Smile
There’s something you may give, To a friend and a stranger, too; It seems that when you give it, It’s given back to you. This gift is worth a million, but doesn’t cost a cent; It’s lasting in effect, But doesn’t take much time, This simple little gesture Can make the day worthwhile; It’s just as good as sunshine – It’s just a little friendly smile.
