"Desire is the factor that determines what..." - Quote by Napoleon Hill

“You need to recognize and sweep aside certain weaknesses which stand between you and your goals. Your persistence develops into a respected, proved, progressive power.”

“Here is an old Oriental proverb: *A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.* It is difficult to anticipate just how a situation will develop in every detail until you take a step forward and try out your present equipment. Then, if weaknesses appear, you will have clues as to how to strengthen your resources. No scheme or plan is perfect. Perfection is a process, not an end.”

“The imagination is literally the workshop wherein are fashioned all plans created by man.”

“Every man desires to live long, but no man wishes to be old.”

“wert thou as far As that vast shore washed with the farthest sea, I would adventure for such merchandise.”

“I begin to long for some little language such as lovers use, broken words, inarticulate words, like the shuffling of feet on pavement.”

“Man is not born to solve the problem of the universe, but to find out what he has to do; and to restrain himself within the limits of his comprehension.”

“All success consists in this: You are doing something for somebody - benefiting humanity - and the feeling of success comes from the consciousness of this.”

“There is in fact no such thing as art for art's sake, art that stands above classes, art that is detached from or independent of politics. Proletarian literature and art are part of the whole proletarian revolutionary cause.”
