Napoleon Hill

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

"The ladder of success is never crowded at the top."

"Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another."

"Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success."

"The starting point of all achievement is desire."

"Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win - essential to success."

"You might well remember that nothing can bring you success but yourself."

"It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project."

"Goals are dreams with a deadline."

"Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything."

"We all have the right to take possession of our own mind and direct it towards all we desire"

"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."

"Before success comes in any man's life, he's sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That's exactly what the majority of men do."

"Success in its highest and noblest form calls for peace of mind and enjoyment and happiness which come only to the man who has found the work that he likes best."

"Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements."

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

"It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed."

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

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

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