A few days ago I wrote about an excellent, moving, inspiring, and true story. It was regarding the Movie “The Pursuit of Happyness“.

In that article, I inserted a very relevant quote by Napoleon Hill, one of the best self help, self improvement authors that I have ever read. So, I decided to put here, a brief and concise anthology of quotes by Napoleon Hill. I hope you enjoy it and take it to heart!

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

We begin to see, therefore, the importance of selecting our environment with the greatest of care, because environment is the mental feeding ground out of which the food that goes into our minds is extracted.

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

Ideas are the beginning points of all fortunes.

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

A goal is a dream with a deadline.

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

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

Success in its highest and noblest form calls for peace of mind and enjoyment and happiness which come only to the man who has found the work that he likes best.

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

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