"If the first plan which you adopt..." - Quote by Napoleon Hill

“If you fail to control your own mind, you may be sure you will control nothing else.”

“Good intentions are useless until they are expressed in appropriate action!”

“The best compensation for doing things is the ability to do more.”

“When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.”

“Never has there been a map, however carefully executed to detail and scale, which has carried its owner over even one inch of ground. Never has there been a parchment of law, however fair, which prevented one crime. Never has there been a scroll, even such as the one I hold, which so much as a penny or produced a single word of acclamation. Action, alone, is the tinder which ignites the map, the parchment, this scroll, my plans, my goals, into a living force. Action is the food and drink which will nourish my success. I will act now.”

“Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.”

“I make more mistakes than anyone else I know, and sooner or later, I patent most of them.”

“I had become so accustomed to succeeding that I no longer even remembered what it was like to fail.”

“Every failure teaches a man something, to wit, that he will probably fail again.”
