More quotes by Napoleon Hill
Every time a man rises from defeat, he becomes mentally and emotionally stronger. Thus, in time, one may actually find his self - his true, inner self - through temporary defeat.
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
Don't wait. The time will never be just right.
Napoleon Hill
Lack of persistence is one of the major causes of failure. Moreover, experience with thousands of people has proved that lack of persistence is a weakness common to the majority of men. It is a weakness which may be overcome with effort.
Napoleon Hill
The person who stops studying merely because he has finished school is forever hopelessly doomed to mediocrity, no matter what may be his calling. The way of success is the way of continuous pursuit of knowledge.
Napoleon Hill
If you have no major purpose, you are drifting toward certain failure.
Napoleon Hill
Every man's own character is written so all who will may read it, in the expression of his eyes, the tone of his voice, the posture of his body, the style of his clothes, and the nature of his deeds!
Napoleon Hill
The primary reason for failure is that people do not develop new plans to replace those plans that didn't work.
Napoleon Hill
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.
Napoleon Hill
The story of practically every great fortune starts with the day when a creator of ideas and a seller of ideas got together and worked in harmony.
Napoleon Hill
[E]very job is composed of many small details, any one of which, if overlooked, can create big problems later.
Napoleon Hill
Thought, backed by strong desire, has a tendency to transmute itself into its physical equivalent.
Napoleon Hill
Until you have learned to be tolerant with those who do not always agree with you, you will be neither successful nor happy.
Napoleon Hill
People refuse to take chances in business, because they fear the criticism which may follow if they fail. The fear of criticism, in such cases is stronger than the DESIRE for success.
Napoleon Hill
Ideas are intangible forces, but they have more power than the physical brains that give birth to them. They have the power to live on, after the brain that creates them has returned to dust.
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
Men are paid, not merely for what they know, but more particularly for WHAT THEY DO WITH THAT WHICH THEY KNOW.
Napoleon Hill
There is a difference between WISHING for a thing and being READY to receive it. No one is ready for a thing, until he believes he can acquire it. The state of mind must be BELIEF, not mere hope or wish. Open-mindedness is essential for belief.
Napoleon Hill
Who told you it couldn't be done? And what great achievement has he to his credit that entitles him to use the word 'impossible' so freely?
Napoleon Hill
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.
