How many men have been able to start again after having everything swept away by fire or flood, or some other disaster, just because they had cultivated popular qualities, because they had learned the art of being agreeable, of making friends and holding them with hooks of steel! People are influenced powerfully by their friendships, by their likes and dislikes, and a popular business or professional man has every advantage in the world over a cold, indifferent man, for customers, clients, or patients will flock to him.
Cultivate the art of being agreeable.

It will help you to self-expression as nothing else will; it will call out your success qualities; it will broaden your sympathies.

It is difficult to conceive of any more delightful birthright than to be born with this personal charm, and yet it is comparatively easy to cultivate, because it is made up of so many other qualities, all of which are cultivatable.
I never knew a thoroughly unselfish person who was not an attractive person.

No person who is always thinking of himself and trying to figure out how he can get some advantage from everybody else will ever be attractive.

We are naturally disgusted with people who are trying to get everything for themselves and never think of anybody else.
The secret of pleasing is in being pleasant yourself, in being interesting.
