Napoleon Hill saw this law of transmutation as the seed of equivalent benefit: With every disappointment, heartbreak, or failure, there exists an equal (usually greater) positive benefit.

Fears are nothing more than a state of mind.

A resourceful person will always make opportunity fit his or her needs.

You are fortunate if you have learned the difference between temporary defeat and failure, more fortunate still if you have learned the truth that the very seed of success is dormant in every defeat that you experience.

One of the blessings of maturity is that it sometimes brings one greater courage to be truthful, regardless of what those who do not understand may think or say

There can never be success without happiness, and no man can be happy without dispensing happiness to others.

The best way to succeed in this world is to act on the advice you give to others.
