Napoleon Hill was an American author and a prominent member of the New Thought movement. He was also a well-known self help author. He became an important personality in the 20th century but is now regarded as an artful conman by most. Hill was famous for writing a range of books that focused on the different ways in which one could grow rich and most of his books became hugely popular. Hill had initially wanted to be a lawyer but he could not complete his degree due to financial strife and eventually took to writing. His most famous work 'Think and Grow Rich’ became an instant hit. His other famous works include ‘Outwitting the Devil’ and ‘The Law of Success’; which also proved to be extremely popular among the readers. Hill’s books argued that it is possible for people to eventually become rich and successful if they truly want it. The passion and the simplicity of the idea proved to be hugely popular among the masses. Hill was a great orator and delivered plenty of pearls of wisdom through his life and works. We have compiled his quotes and thoughts which have been excerpted from his books and writings. Here is a selection of thoughts and quotes by Napoleon Hill on success, money, fame, rich, inspiration, career, desire, power, pursuit, way and goals.
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.
Napoleon Hill
Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
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.
