Last Updated on October 3, 2020 by The Unbounded Thinker

Napoleon Hill, also known as The Father of Personal Success, is known for influencing thousands of folks into greatness. Despite being born in poverty, Napoleon Hill became a successful author. His famous book, Think and Grow Rich, has sold over 10 million copies to date. Besides Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill has written many amazing books such as Outwitting the Devil and The Laws of Success.

Napoleon Hill interviewed more than 500 successful folks and 25,000 failures because he desired to know the secret formula for success. His books and talks are so motivating that I had to gather the following quotes from them.

Enjoy.
