Portrait of Napoleon Hill, famous for their inspirational quotes and wisdom
Napoleon Hill (born 1883)

Napoleon Hill was a self-help author who spent twenty years interviewing over 500 of America's most successful people — including Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, and Thomas Edison — to distill the principles behind their achievements. Think and Grow Rich (1937) launched the modern personal development genre.

Hill's project began when Andrew Carnegie challenged him to interview the most successful people in America and codify their common principles. The resulting philosophy of success — built on desire, faith, persistence, and the mastermind principle — has sold over 100 million copies.

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
