Napoleon Hill

If you must speak ill of another, do not speak it . . . write it in the sand near the water's edge.

You don't have to fear defeat if you believe it may reveal powers that you didn't know you possessed.

Experience is an asset of which no worker can be cheated, no matter how selfish or greedy his immediate employer may be.

Failure is nature's plan to prepare you for great responsibilities.

Wise men, when in doubt whether to speak or to keep quiet, give themselves the benefit of the doubt, and remain silent.

Every adversity, every failure and every heartache carries with it the Seed of an equivalent or a greater Benefit.

Plan your work and work your plan.

If you can't do great things, do small things in a great way. Don't wait for great opportunities. Seize common, everyday ones and make them great.
