The opportunities will always be there for you.” – Napoleon Hill

“Those who work for money alone, and who receive for their pay nothing but money, are always underpaid, no matter how much they receive. Money is necessary, but the big prizes of life cannot be measured in dollars and cents. No” – Napoleon Hill

“Most men will work harder for commendation and recognition than they will for money alone.” – Napoleon Hill
