Here are 12 quotes from the book to live by. . .
“First comes thought; then organization of that thought into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.”
“Among the thousand and one little things which go to make up the qualifications necessary in the thoroughly efficient man is the all-important faculty of working with a definite purpose in view – with a “chief aim in life.”
“Big pay and little responsibility are circumstances seldom found together.”
“Enthusiasm is simply a matter of SELF-INSPIRATION, nothing more nor less.”
“Any idea, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.”
“It seems to me that one of the great purposes of life is to BE HAPPY ALL THE TIME AND TO MAKE OTHERS HAPPY!”
“God made THE world, but He doesn’t make YOUR world.”
“Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.”
“BE AMBITIOUS IF NOTHING MORE. OTHER THINGS WILL TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES.”
“The richest experience that can come to a man or a woman is that of financial reverse. The full value of such an experience will depend upon whether we accept it as a blessing or as a curse.”
“AS A MAN THINKETH IN HIS HEART, SO IS HE.”
“WHATSOEVER YE SOWETH THAT SHALL YE ALSO REAP.”
These amazing quotes are the tip of the iceberg. Go back and reread this book and you’ll find 100 more. Not just quotes – thought-provoking, life-changing words of wisdom. Take them for yourself and turn them into wealth. Hill would have wanted it that way.
If you are a serious “student of the game,” this book has the winning formula and the winning pieces – all you have to do is roll the dice and MOVE YOUR OWN PIECE.
