Acres of Diamonds - Russell H. Conwell
"This lecture has been delivered under these circumstances: I visit a town or city, and try to arrive there early enough
to see the postmaster, the barber, the keeper of the hotel, the principal of the schools, and the ministers of some of the
churches, and then go into some of the factories and stores, and talk with the people, and get into sympathy with the local
conditions of that town or city and see what has been their history, what opportunities they had, and what they had failed
to do - and every town fails to do something - and then go to the lecture and talk to those people about the subjects which
applied to their locality. 'Acres of Diamonds' - the idea - has continuously been precisely the same. The idea is that in this
country of ours every man has the opportunity to make more of himself than he does in his own environment, with his own skill,
with his own energy, and with his own friends."
- Russell H. Conwell (from the Foreword of Acres of Diamonds)

As A Man Thinketh - James Allen
"The aphorism, 'As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he,' not only embraces the whole of a man's being, but is so
comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life. A man is literally what he thinks,
his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts."
- James Allen (Opening statement from Acres of Diamonds)

The Science of Getting Rich - Wallace D. Wattles
"Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or
successful life unless one is rich. No man can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development
unless he has plenty of money; for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and
he cannot have these things unless he has money to buy them."
- Wallace D. Wattles (Opening statement from The Science of Getting Rich)

Think And Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill
"In every chapter of this book, mention has been made of the money-making secret which has made fortunes for more than
five hundred exceedingly wealthy men whom I have carefully analyzed over a long period of years.
The secret was brought to my attention by Andrew Carnegie, more than a quarter of a century ago. The canny, lovable Scotsman
carelessly tossed it into my mind, when I was but a boy. The he sat back in his chair, with a merry twinkle in his eyes,
and watched carefully to see if I had brains enough to understand the full significance of what he had said to me.
When he saw that I had grasped the idea, he asked if I would be willing to spend twenty years or more, preparing myself to
take it to the world, to men and women who, without the secret, might go through life as failures. I said I would, and with
Mr. Carnegie's cooperation, I have kept my promise.
This book contains the secret, after having been put to a practical test by thousands of people, in almost every walk
of life."
- Napoleon Hill (From the author's preface of Think And Grow Rich)
