Dale Carnegie was a legendary American writer, lecturer, and thinker. He is probably best known for his massively bestselling book How to Win Friends and Influence People, which was first written in 1936 and remains hugely popular today. Below are some memorable quotes I’ve selected from Dale Carnegie for your reading pleasure: 
Remember happiness doesn’t depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think.
Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.
Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.
Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.
Applause is a receipt, not a bill.
Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours.
Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.
Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves.
Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it… that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.
Don’t be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.
Each nation feels superior to other nations. That breeds patriotism - and wars.
Fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in the mind.
Fear not those who argue but those who dodge.
Feeling sorry for yourself, and your present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.
First ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then proceed to improve on the worst.
If you want to gather honey, don’t kick over the beehive.
Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
Instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire.
Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success.
Happiness doesn’t depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.
If only the people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess, they would stop worrying.
If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done.
If you can’t sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It’s the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.
If you want to be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic.
If you want to conquer fear, don’t sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
It isn’t what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.
Keep on raging - to stop the aging.
Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed possible.
Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed we possessed.
One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.
Only the prepared speaker deserves to be confident.
Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.
People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.
