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)

KING OF THE 5 AND 10 CENT STORES
"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."

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."

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."

application of your 17 fundamental principles of the Law of Success. I
believe I have the honor of being your first student."

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

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

Carnegie disclosed the astounding secret of his riches-- the same man
to whom the 500 wealthy men
