sources of knowledge in his own mind as well as acquire knowledge of 
priceless value FROM EVERY OTHER PERSON PRESENT. If you

TRIBUTES TO THE AUTHOR 
From Great American Leaders 
"THINK AND GROW RICH" was 25 years in the making. It is 
Napoleon Hill's newest book, based upon his famous Law of Success 
Philosophy. His work and writings have been praised by great leaders 
in Finance, Education, Politics, Government. 
Supreme Court of the United States Washington, D. C. 
Dear Mr. Hill:-- I have now had an opportunity to finish reading your 
Law of Success textbooks and I wish to express my appreciation of the 
splendid work you have done in the organization of this philosophy. It 
would be helpful if every politician in the country would assimilate and 
apply the 17 principles upon which your lessons are based. It contains 
some very fine material which every leader in every walk of life should 
understand. I am happy to have had the privilege of rendering you some 
slight measure of help in the organization of this splendid course of 
"common sense" philosophy. 
Sincerely yours
(Former President and former Chief Justice of the United States)

"By applying many of the 17 fundamentals of the Law of Success 
philosophy we have built a great chain of successful stores. I presume it 
would be no exaggeration of fact if I said that the Woolworth Building 
might properly be called a monument to the soundness of these 
principles." 
F. W. WOOLWORTH

A GREAT STEAMSHIP MAGNATE 
"I feel greatly indebted for the privilege of reading your Law of 
Success. If I had had this philosophy fifty years ago, I suppose I could 
have accomplished all that I have done in less than half the time. I 
sincerely hope the world will discover and reward you." 
ROBERT DOLLAR

FAMOUS AMERICAN LABOR LEADER 
"Mastery of the Law of Success philosophy is the equivalent of an 
insurance policy against failure." 
SAMUEL GOMPERS 
--- 
A FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES 
"May I not congratulate you on your persistence. Any man who devotes
that much time... must of necessity make discoveries of great value to 
others. I am deeply impressed by your interpretation of the 'Master 
Mind' principles which you have so clearly described." 
WOODROW WILSON

A MERCHANT PRINCE 
"I know that your 17 fundamentals of success are sound because I have 
been applying them in my business for more than 30 years." 
JOHN WANAMAKER 
--- 
WORLD'S LARGEST MAKER OF CAMERAS 
"I know that you are doing a world of good with your Law of Success. I 
would not care to set a monetary value on this training because it brings 
to the student qualities which cannot be measured by money, alone." 
GEORGE EASTMAN 
--- 
A NATIONALLY KNOWN BUSINESS CHIEF 
"Whatever success I may have attained I owe, entirely, to the 
application of your 17 fundamental principles of the Law of Success. I 
believe I have the honor of being your first student." 
W.M. WRIGLEY, JR. 
 
PUBLISHER'S PREFACE 
THIS book conveys the experience of more than 500 men of great
wealth, who began at scratch, with nothing to give in return for riches 
except THOUGHTS, IDEAS and ORGANIZED PLANS. Here you 
have the entire philosophy of moneymaking, just as it was organized 
from the actual achievements of the most successful men known to the 
American people during the past fifty years. It describes WHAT TO 
DO, also, HOW TO DO IT! It presents complete instructions on HOW 
TO SELL YOUR PERSONAL SERVICES. It provides you with a 
perfect system of self-analysis that will readily disclose what has been 
standing between you and "the big money" in the past. It describes the 
famous Andrew Carnegie formula of personal achievement by which 
he accumulated hundreds of millions of dollars for himself and made 
no fewer than a score of millionaires of men to whom he taught his 
secret. Perhaps you do not need all that is to be found in the book-- no 
one of the 500 men from whose experiences it was written did-- but 
you may need ONE IDEA, PLAN OR SUGGESTION to start you 
toward your goal. Somewhere in the book you will find this needed 
stimulus. The book was inspired by Andrew Carnegie, after he had 
made his millions and retired. It was written by the man to whom 
Carnegie disclosed the astounding secret of his riches-- the same man 
to whom the 500 wealthy men
