Napoleon Hill

The best job goes to the person who can get it done without passing the buck or coming back with excuses.
Napoleon Hill

Action is the real measure of intelligence.
Napoleon Hill

Do it now! can affect every phase of your life. It can help you do the things you should do but don't feel like doing. It can keep you from procrastinating when an unpleasant duty faces you. But it can also help you do those things that you want to do. It helps you seize those precious moments that, if lost, may never be retrieved.
Napoleon Hill

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

The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going.
Napoleon Hill

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

What ever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
Napoleon Hill

The jack-of-all-trades seldom is good at any. Concentrate all of your efforts on one definite chief aim.
Napoleon Hill

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

Who said it could not be done? And tell me what great victories does he have to his credit which qualifies him to judge what can and can't be accomplished.
Napoleon Hill

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

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

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.
Napoleon Hill

Hold a picture of yourself long and steadily enough in your mind's eye, and you will be drawn toward it. If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self. The ladder of success is never crowded at the top.
Napoleon Hill

Until you have learned to be tolerant with those who do not always agree with you; until you have cultivated the habit of saying some kind word of those whom you do not admire; until you have formed the habit of looking for the good instead of the bad there is in others, you will be neither successful nor happy.
Napoleon Hill

You must get involved to have an impact. No one is impressed with the won lost record of the referee.
Napoleon Hill

The battle is all over except the "shouting" when one knows what is wanted and has made up his mind to get it, whatever the price may be.
Napoleon Hill

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.
Napoleon Hill

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