"Persistence is the direct result of habit...." - Quote by Napoleon Hill

“Seek the counsel of men who will tell you the truth about yourself, even if it hurts you to hear it. Mere commendation will not bring the improvement you need.”

“It is a fact that the majority of a man's griefs comes about through lack of self-control.”

“People who do not succeed have one distinguishing trait in common. They know all the reasons for failure, and have what they believe to be air-tight alibis to explain away their own lack of achievement.”

“If I persist long enough I will win.”

“Life is just one damned thing after another.”

“You lose nothing when fighting for a cause ... In my mind the losers are those who don't have a cause they care about.”

“Rigid, the skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame.”

“The sun has not caught me in bed in fifty years.”

“Never suffer an exception to occur till the new habit is securely rooted in your life. Each lapse is like the letting fall of a ball of string which one is carefully winding up; a single slip undoes more than a great many turns will wind again.”
