Dale Carnegie, Quotes - 2013

Why Can’t We Be Happy?

When we are unable to find tranquility within ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere. – La Rochefoucauld

we’re the man

No one else is capable. Only we can manage our state of mind. We must not blame anyone or anything out there. We ought to look in the mirror and claim full responsibility for how we feel.
