Napoleon Hill was an American author and a prominent member of the New Thought movement. He was also a well-known self help author. He became an important personality in the 20th century but is now regarded as an artful conman by most. Hill was famous for writing a range of books that focused on the different ways in which one could grow rich and most of his books became hugely popular. Hill had initially wanted to be a lawyer but he could not complete his degree due to financial strife and eventually took to writing. His most famous work 'Think and Grow Rich’ became an instant hit. His other famous works include ‘Outwitting the Devil’ and ‘The Law of Success’; which also proved to be extremely popular among the readers. Hill’s books argued that it is possible for people to eventually become rich and successful if they truly want it.

We have compiled his quotes and thoughts which have been excerpted from his books and writings.
