Alfred Eisenstaedt Quotes

I take time to be with people, and I learn a lot.

I'm engaged: I'm interested in other people. I think that's just as important as knowing how to do the job.

Most of the people that I deal with are human. So I've had a lot of experience with that.

I'm a problem solver. I love people. The more complicated they are, the more I get into them, and I just want to understand what makes them tick.

Watch people and how they handle other people. You have to stay open and keep your eyes open to them.

Later in life, I learnt that in order to deal with people, one has to be gentle and give them respect. That always works.

If I don't have any other strength, I'm pretty good at building relationships.

This may be a bit of a broad statement, but I don't think there's anyone that I've met that I haven't created a bit of a deep relationship with.

What I was actually trying to do in my early movies was show how people can meet other people and what they can do and what they can say to each other. That was the whole idea: two people getting acquainted.

There is so much of good in human nature that men grow to like each other upon better acquaintance, and this points to another way in which we may strive to promote the peace of the world.

It's wonderful to move forward technologically, but we cannot forget that we are human beings who thrive on relationships, who thrive on interconnectivity, who thrive on sharing your feelings and emotions.

Empathy and social skills are social intelligence, the interpersonal part of emotional intelligence. That's why they look alike.

The secret of my success is a two word answer: Know people.

I wasn't a cliquey person, and I think that's because I came from a large family. I got along with everybody, and I usually got along with the people that people didn't like.

There are those moments when you shake someone's hand, have a conversation with someone, and suddenly your all bound together because you share your humanity in one simple moment.

The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.
