This is a collection of Charles Haanel quotes. Firstly just on a personal note, I would have to say Haanel's Master Key System is probably my No.1 favourite motivational book at this moment.

Charles Haanel

Profile: Charles F Haanel was born 1866 in Arbor, Michigan, his first full-time job was as an office boy in the National Enamelling and Stamping Company and he worked there for 15 years.

Charles left the company to set up his own business, CF Haanel Publishing Company, and went on to be president of several other companies.

Not much is known about what his influences were, but in 1912, at the age of 46, he published the Master Key System, which is the reason he is considered by some to be 'the father of personal development'. Charles Haanel went on to write four more books.

Napoleon Hill once wrote him a letter in 1919 thanking him for the Master Key System, saying it contributed to his success. Charles died in 1949 age 83 and is buried in Bellefontaine cemetery.
