Napoleon Hill

"Happiness is found in doing, not merely possessing."

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

"Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit."

"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."

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

"Goals are dreams with a deadline."

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

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

"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."

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

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