Golden Rules by Napoleon Hill

The mind is the skilled weaver of both the inner garment of personality and the outer garment of circumstances. Humans generally tend to doubt everything they do not understand, and everything they cannot prove in a way that satisfies them, whether through their own similar experiences or through observation.

There will be no lasting peace on Earth until the human race learns that physical conflict cannot decide a moral issue. The greatest service any teacher can perform for you is to make you awaken that sleeping genius within your mind and motivate you to accomplish some worthwhile projects! What education or study puts into your head is not what will benefit you, but what is stirred within you and places you in a position to work!

If willpower is the solid chisel, perseverance is the mechanism that keeps the chisel in place, presses it firmly against the material that must be shaped, and prevents it from slipping or losing pressure. Is there anything greater than helping people weave the poor threads of failure, mistakes, and pain into a beautiful garment that cloaks their efforts in ultimate success?

There are only two types of forces in this universe: one that attracts and one that repels. You are a force, and you belong to one category or the other. Either you attract people to you or repel them away.
