QUOTES BY Napoleon Hill

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

Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel.

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

The majority of men meet with failure because of their lack of persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail.

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.

“The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.”

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

“You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.”

“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.”

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

“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.”
