Borrowed Quotes on Transformation

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.

Napoleon Hill quotes (American author, 1883-1970)

—Emerson

—Sir Josiah Stamp

"Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get."
—Dale Carnegie

"If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it."
—Albert Einstein

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."

"The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is unconditional love, which includes not only others but ourselves as well."

—George Bernard Shaw

"All truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, till they take root in our personal experience."
—Johann von Goethe
