Quotes from Think & Grow Rich

Following are quotes from Napoleon Hill's classic success and personal development book Think & Grow Rich, first published in 1937.

Based on the principles Hill claimed to have learned from studying successful people, it covers concepts such as purpose, faith, autosuggestion, imagination, persistence, and the mastermind principle.

Despite its title, the book is not solely about becoming financially rich. Hill presents “riches” more broadly as creating the life you desire, which aligns many of its ideas with modern Law of Attraction teachings.

Success comes to those who become success conscious.
Failure comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become failure conscious.
You are the master of your fate, the captain of your soul.
Success requires no explanations, failure permits no alibis.
Every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success.
Dreams are the seedlings of reality.
A burning desire to be, and to do is the starting point from which the dreamer must take off.
Faith is the basis of all “miracles,” and all mysteries which cannot be analyzed by the rules of science!
All impulses of thought have a tendency to clothe themselves in their physical equivalent.
Desire can be transmuted into its physical equivalent.
There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge.
Both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought.

Jerry Hicks & Napoleon Hill

One day Esther Hicks went to Jerry and said, "You'll never believe this" and Jerry said, "What" and she said, "Napoleon Hill was just talking in my head and wants to talk to you."

Jerry and Esther went and sat in the back seat of their car and Napoleon Hill's energy came through Esther. Jerry asked Napoleon, "If you had it to do over again what would you do differently?" He said, "I would've told where I got the information." Jerry said, "Well, why didn't you?" And Napoleon said, "That would never have been published. They wouldn't publish that kind of material back then."

Jerry said he didn't pay a lot of attention to this 'meeting' and then one day when they were in Salt Lake City he went to the book store and in the self improvement section he found a chocolate colored book that he'd never seen before. He picked it up and it was Think and Grow Rich – the original manuscript before it was edited.

Jerry took his copy of the book and this newly found original manuscript and compared the two and highlighted every change. He said that anything in the original manuscript that inferred the word "vibration" was taken out. He said that anytime the book inferred that the author's knowledge came from the aethers or the essence or anywhere other than good solid physical facts it was edited out.
