Napoleon Hill

The possibilities of creative effort connected with the subconscious mind are stupendous and imponderable. They inspire one with awe.

People who fail to accumulate money, without exception, have the habit of reaching decisions, if at all, very slowly, and of changing these decisions quickly and often.

If you can't do great things, do small things in a great way. Don't wait for great opportunities. Seize common, everyday ones and make them great.

Every adversity contains, at the same time, a seed of equivalent opportunity!

A positive mind finds a way it can be done; a negative mind looks for all the ways it can't be done.

Success comes to those who become success conscious. Failure comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become failure conscious.

Anything the human mind can believe, the human mind can achieve

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.

I am thankful for the adversities, which have crossed my pathway, for they taught me tolerance, sympathy, self-control, perseverance and some other virtues I might never have known.

Remember when your plans fail, that temporary defeat is not permanent failure.

Every failure is a blessing in disguise, providing it teaches some needed lesson one could not have learned without it. Most so-called Failures are only temporary defeats.

If you try and fail, make another effort, and _x000D_ still another...until you succeed.

Most misfortunes are the results of misused time.

No individual has sufficient experience, education, native ability and knowledge to ensure the accumulation of a great fortune, without the cooperation of other people.

Whatever you think today becomes what you are tomorrow.

A wise man watches his faults more closely than his virtues; fools reverse the order.

I had learned, from years of experience with men, that when a man really desires a thing so deeply that he is willing to stake his entire future on a single turn of the wheel in order to get it, he is sure to win.

If you make your prayers an expression of gratitude and thanksgiving for the blessings you already have, instead of requests for things you do not have, you will obtain results much faster.

No two minds ever come together without a third invisible force, which may be likened to a 'third mind.' When a group of individual minds are coordinated and function in harmony, the increased energy created through that alliance becomes available to every individual in the group.

All achievement, no matter what may be its nature, or its purpose, must begin with an intense, burning desire for something definite.

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.
