The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped them from Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. And I put them in a book.
Benjamin Franklin, tactless in his youth, became so diplomatic, so adroit at handling people that he was made American Ambassador to France. The secret of his success?

Born into poverty on a Missouri farm in 1888, Carnegie (who changed the spelling of his name around 1922) built a career teaching self-improvement, salesmanship, and public speaking. His 1936 book How to Win Friends and Influence People became a runaway bestseller by proposing a simple premise: change how you treat people, and you change how they respond. He followed with How to Stop Worrying and Start Living in 1948 and Lincoln the Unknown in 1932, among other works. He died November 1, 1955, but the Friends book never went out of print - its promise that interpersonal skill is a teachable craft still moves copies.
