Napoleon Hill

Happiness is found in doing, not merely possessing.

The man who does more than he is paid for will soon be paid for more than he does.

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

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

All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination, Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth.

There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.

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

The starting point of all achievement is desire.

Money without brains is always dangerous.

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.

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

Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness.

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

Action is the real measure of intelligence.

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

Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.

If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.

A goal is a dream with a deadline.

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

Fears are nothing more than a state of mind.

Instead of pursuing many-sided mediocrity and calling it 'well-roundedness,' a definite person determines the one best thing to do and then does it.

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

The possession of anything begins in the mind.

You can think your way into or out of almost any circumstance, good or bad.

Opportunity often comes in disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.

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

You give before you get.

A winner is a dreamer who never gives up.

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