“The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.” 

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” 

“You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.” 

“When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.” 

“If you can't do great things, do small things in a great way.” 

“Before success comes in any man’s life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat, and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do. More than five hundred of the most successful men this country has ever known told the author their greatest success came just one step beyond the point at which defeat had overtaken them.” 

“Do not wait: the time will never be 'just right'. Start where you stand, and work whatever tools you may have at your command and better tools will be found as you go along.” 

“Set your mind on a definite goal and observe how quickly the world stands aside to let you pass.” 

“When your desires are strong enough, you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve.” 

“You may be hurt if you love too much, but you will live in misery if you love too little.”  “Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.” 

“The way of success is the way of continuous pursuit of knowledge.” 

“A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.” 

“Don't wait. The time will never be just right.” 

“Our only limitations are those we set up in our own minds”  “A quitter never wins-and-a winner never quits.” 

“The man who does more than he is paid for will soon be paid for more than he does.” ― Napoleon Hill “Action is the real measure of intelligence.” 

“Happiness is found in doing, not merely possessing. ” 

“Every adversity, every failure, every heartbreak, carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.” ― Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

“Cherish your vision and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.” 

“A goal is a dream with a deadline” 

“More gold had been mined from the mind of men than the earth it self” 

“We refuse to believe that which we don't understand.” 

“When you are able to maintain your own highest standards of integrity - regardless of what others may do - you are destined for greatness.” 

“Hold a picture of yourself long and steadily enough in your mind's eye, and you will be drawn toward it.” 

“To win the big stakes in this changed world, you must catch the spirit of the great pioneers of the past, whose dreams have given to civilization all that it has of value, the spirit that serves as the life-blood of our own country – your opportunity and mine, to develop and market our talents.” 

“Wise men, when in doubt whether to speak or to keep quiet, give themselves the benefit of the doubt, and remain silent.” 

“If you must speak ill of another, do not speak it . . . ” 

“An educated man is not, necessarily, one who has an abundance of general or specialized knowledge. An educated man is one who has so developed the faculties of his mind that he may acquire anything he wants, or its equivalent, without violating the rights of others. –” 

“Put your foot upon the neck of the fear of criticism by reaching a decision not to worry about what other people think, do, or say.” 

“Opinions are the cheapest commodities on earth. Everyone has a flock of opinions ready to be wished upon anyone who will accept them. If you are influenced by "opinions" when you reach DECISIONS, you will not succeed in any undertaking.” 

“Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel.” 

“If you are not learning while you’re earning, you are cheating yourself out of the better portion of your compensation.” 

“Neglecting to broaden their view has kept some people doing one thing all their lives.” 

“One who has loved truly, can never lose entirely. Love is whimsical and temperamental. Its nature is ephemeral, and transitory. It comes when it pleases,and goes away without warning. Accept and enjoy it while it remains, but spend no time worrying about its departure. Worry will never bring it back.” 

“Those who succeed in an outstanding way seldom do so before the age of 40. More often, they do not strike their real pace until they are well beyond the age of 50.” 

“If you must speak ill of another, do not speak it, write it in the sand near the water's edge.” 

“I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me, because I will believe in them, and in myself.” 

“TELL THE WORLD WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO, BUT FIRST SHOW IT.This is the equivalent of saying "deeds, and not words, are what count most.” 

“You’ve got to be sure of yourself beforeYou can ever win a prize.” 

“Helen Keller became deaf, dumb, and blind shortly after birth. Despite her greatest misfortune, she has written her name indelibly in the pages of the history of the great. Her entire life has served as evidence that no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as reality.” 

“Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire brings a small amount of heat.” 

“Remember,too,that all who succeed in life get off to a bad start,and pass through many heartbreaking struggles before they "arrive". The turning point in the lives of those who succeed usually comes at some moment of crisis,through which they are introduced to their "other selves".” 

“A genius is simply one who has taken full possession of his own mind and directed it toward objectives of his own choosing, without permitting outside influences to discourage or mislead him.” 

“There is a difference between WISHING for a thing and being READY to receive it. No one is ready for a thing, until he believes he can acquire it. The state of mind must be BELIEF, not mere hope or wish. Open-mindedness is essential for belief.” 

“Any ideas, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought” 

“If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.” 

“The strongest oak of the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun. It’s the one that stands in the open where it is compelled to struggle for its existence against the winds and rains and the scorching sun.” ― Napoleon Hill

“Perhaps we shall learn, as we pass through this age, that the 'other self" is more powerful than the physical self we see when we look into a mirror.” 

“First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.” ― Napoleon Hill “IF - and this is the greatest of them all - I had the courage to see myself as I reallyam, I would find out what is wrong with me, and

correct it, then I might have a chance to profit by my mistakes and learn something from the experience of others,for I know that there is something WRONG with me, or I would now be where I WOULD HAVE BEEN IF I had spent more time analyzing my weaknesses, and less time building alibis to cover them.” 

“There are no limitations to the mind except those that we acknowledge.” 

“If you think you are beaten, you are,

If you think you dare not, you don’t.

If you like to win, but you think you can’t,

It is almost certain you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,

For out in the world we find,

Success begins with a fellow’s will -

It’s all in the state of MIND.

If you think you’re outclassed, you are,

You’ve got to think high to rise,

You’ve got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win a prize.

Life’s battles, don’t always go

To the stronger or faster man

But soon or later the man who wins

Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!” ― Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich “Desire is the starting point of all achievement,not a hope,not a wish,but a keen pulsating desire which trancends everything.” 

“Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.” 

“Remember that it is not the lawyer who knows the most law, but the one who best prepares his case, who wins.” 

“Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.” 

“Adversity will do something too you or for you.......” 

“If you believe yourself unfortunate because you have loved and lost, perish the thought. One who has loved truly, can never lose entirely.” 

“Most so called FAILURES are only temporary defeats” 

“Love attracts only one thing and that thing is love.” 

“The only limitation is that which one sets up in one's own mind.” 

“If you give up before your goal has been reached, you are a "quitter." A QUITTER NEVER WINS AND A WINNER NEVER QUITS. Lift this sentence out, write it on a piece of paper in letters an inch high, and place it where you will see it every night before you go to sleep, and every morning before you go to work” 

“Desire backed by faith knows no such word as impossible.” 

“You become what you think about” 

“Awake,arise,and assert yourself,you dreamers of the world. Your star is now in ascendancy.” 

“the world has the habit of making room for the man whose words and actions show that he knows where he is going.” 

“Fears are nothing more than a state of mind.” 

“Procrastination is the bad habit of putting of until the day after tomorrow what should have been done the day before yesterday.” 

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve regardless of how many times you may have failed in the past or how lofty your aims and hopes may be.” 

“The majority of people are ready to throw their aims and purposes overboard, and give up at the first sign of opposition or misfortune. A few carry on DESPITE all opposition, until they attain their goal. These few are the Fords, Carnegies, Rockefellers, and Edisons. There may be no heroic connotation to the word persistence, but the quality is to the character of man what carbon is to steel.” 

“Goals are dreams with a deadline.” 

“If you are ready for the secret, you already possess one half of it,therefore, you will readily recognize the other half the moment it reaches your mind.” 

“Remember that your dominating thoughts attract, through a definite law of nature, by the shortest and most convenient route, their physical counterpart. Be careful what your thoughts dwell upon.” 

“There is no substitute for persistence. The person who makes persistence his watch-word, discovers that “Old Man Failure” finally becomes tired, and makes his departure. Failure cannot cope with persistence.” 

“Successful men become successful only because they acquire the habit of thinking in terms of success.” 

“Opportunity...it often comes disguised in the form of misfortune or temporary defeat.” 

“Every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success.” 

“Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve.” 

“The strongest oak tree of the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun. It's the one that stands in the open where it is compelled to struggle for its existence against the winds and rains and the scorching sun.” 

“Success in life depends upon happiness, and happiness is found in no other way than through SERVICE that is rendered in a spirit of love." Napoleon Hill” 

“faith removes limitations!” 

“Your only limitation is the one you set up in your own mind!” 

“There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought” 

“Let us consider the power of FAITH, as it is now being demonstrated, by a man who is well known to all of civilization, Mahatma Gandhi, of India. In this man the world has one of the most astounding examples known to civilization, of the possibilities of FAITH. Gandhi wields more potential power than any man living at this time, and this, despite the fact that he has none of the orthodox tools of power, such as money, battle ships, soldiers, and materials of warfare. Gandhi has no money, he has no home, he does not own a suit of clothes, but HE DOES HAVE POWER. How does he come by that power? HE CREATED IT OUT OF HIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRINCIPLE OF FAITH, AND THROUGH HIS ABILITY TO TRANSPLANT THAT FAITH INTO THE MINDS OF TWO HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE. Gandhi has

accomplished, through the influence of FAITH, that which the strongest military power on

earth could not, and never will accomplish through soldiers and military equipment. He has

accomplished the astounding feat of INFLUENCING two hundred million minds to

COALESCE AND MOVE IN UNISON, AS A SINGLE MIND. What other force on earth,

except FAITH could do as much? There will come a day when employees as well as

employers will discover the possibilities of FAITH. That day is dawning. The whole world

has had ample opportunity, during the recent business depression, to witness what the

LACK OF FAITH will do to business.” ― Napoleon Hill,  “It is your responsibility to make sure that positive emotions constitute the dominating influence of your mind.” 

“You are entitled to know that two entities occupy your body. One of these entities is motivated by and responds to the impulse of fear. The other is motivated by and responds to the impulse of faith. Will you be guided by faith or will you allow fear to overtake you?” 

“Fears are nothing more than a state of mind” 

“Anything you do to and for another person, you do it to and for yourself” 

“Remember, the thoughts that you think and the statements you make regarding yourself determine your mental attitude. If you have a worthwhile objective, find the one reason why you can achieve it rather than hundreds of reasons why you can't” 

“That is one of the tricks of opportunity. It has a sly habit of slipping in by the back door, and often it comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. Perhaps this is why so many fail to recognize opportunity.” 

“DREAMS ARE THE SEEDLINGS OF REALITY.” 

“The oak sleeps in the acorn. The bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul, a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of reality.” 

“the starting point of all achievement is desire” 

“Every great leader of the past, whose record I have examined, was beset by difficulties and met with temporary defeat before 'arriving” 

“war grows out of desire of the individual to gain advantage at the expense of his fellow man.” 

“the cause of the depression is traceable directly to the worldwide habit of trying to reap without sowing.” ― Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich Like “It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project.” 

“I bargained with Life for a penny, And Life would pay no more, However I begged at evening When I counted my scanty store. "For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. "I worked for a menial's hire, Only to learn, dismayed, That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid.” ― Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich7 likes

“Wishing will not bring riches. But desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches. The method by which DESIRE for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent, consists of six definite, practical steps, viz: First. Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say "I want plenty of money." First. Be definite as to the amount. (There is a psychological reason for definite-ness which will be described in a subsequent chapter). Second. Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as "something for nothing.) Third. Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire. Fourth. Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready

or not, to put this plan into action. Fifth. Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it. Sixth. Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. AS YOU READ-SEE AND FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE MONEY.” ― Napoleon Hill, The Classic Napoleon Hill Masterpiece THINK AND GROW RICH [Illustrated & Annotated]0 likes

“the power of faith as it is was demonstrated by a man well known to all of civilisation, Mahatma Gandhi of India. In this man the world experienced one of the most astounding examples of the possibilities of FAITH. Gandhi wielded more potential power than any man living in his time, and this despite the fact that he had none of the orthodox tools of power, such as money, battleships, soldiers and materials of warfare. Gandhi had no money. He had no home. He didn’t even own a suit of clothes but he did have power. How did he come by that power? HE CREATED IT OUT OF HIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRINCIPLE OF FAITH. AND THROUGH HIS ABILITY TO TRANSPLANT THAT FAITH INTO THE MINDS OF 200 MILLION PEOPLE. Gandhi accomplished, through the influence of faith, something that the strongest military power on earth could not, and

never will, achieve through soldiers and military equipment. He accomplished the astounding feat of influencing 200 million minds to coalesce and move in unison, as a single mind. What other force on earth, except faith, could do as much?” ― Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich0 likes

I know through the principle of autosuggestion that any desire I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seek expression through some practical means of attaining the object.

“This idea of starting at the bottom and working one’s way up may appear to be sound, but the major objection to it is this— too many of those who begin at the bottom never manage to lift their heads high enough to be seen by opportunity, so they remain at the bottom. It should be remembered, also, that the outlook from the bottom is not so very bright or encouraging. It has a tendency to kill off ambition. We call it “getting into a rut,” which means that we accept our fate because we form the habit of daily routine, a habit that finally becomes so strong we cease to try to throw it off. And that is another reason why it pays to start one or two steps above the bottom. By so doing one forms the habit of looking around, of observing how others get ahead, of seeing opportunity, and of embracing it without hesitation.” ― Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich0 likes
