Napoleon Hill Quotes

Napoleon is the author of Think and Grow Rich, which in my opinion is one of 'The' must have books on success and personal growth. I hope you enjoy this brief profile and collection of Napoleon Hill quotes that will fuel your mind for success.

Profile: Born 1883 in the Appalachian town of Pound, South West Virginia, his mother died when he was 10. He began work at 13 for a small town newspaper and used his earnings to enter law school but had to withdraw for financial reasons.

The turning point in his life came when he interviewed Andrew Carnegie as part of an assignment. Carnegie believed success could be outlined in a simple formula, and being impressed with Napoleon Hill, challenged him to interview over 500 successful men and women to find such a formula and have it published.

This culminated in the publishing of Think and Grow Rich which has went on to sell over 20 million copies world wide.

Napoleon Hill was also an advisor to two presidents, Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D Roosevelt. He died 1970 in South Carolina.

I hope you enjoyed these Napoleon Hill quotes, most have been taken from his highly successful book Think and Grow Rich, which contains 13 principles on how to accumulate riches.

Over 20 years of research went into this book. It is a complete philosophy for success, of course riches cannot always be measured in money, but I find myself coming back to this book frequently for inspiration.
