I need this for an English essay, and I need to be able to site it properly- meaning I need the name of the book it's from, or a transcript if it's from an interview or a speech.

I'm offering 1,000,000 vBux to anybody who can find it- quite a lot for just a bit of information, so hopefully that's fair.

Thanks guys =D

[EDIT] Alright, trying to make this clear:
This is quoted several times in different books. I need where the quotation is originally from, when Napoleon Hill first wrote or said it. Not one of these other books.

I've looked in all of his books, watched every video I could find with him in it, and not once did I see or hear this.

It's undoubtedly something he said, but the direct source seems to be impossible to find. Many people write it or say it in their own works, but aside from that no one really states a source.

The next best thing you could do is a cite a source that uses the quotation.

does this help you ? You must login or register to view this content. Words are powerful indeed. The right words are a strong subliminal persuasion technique, so be careful in your choice of them. “Think twice before you speak,” said Napoleon Hill author of Think and Grow Rich, “because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.”

Saw that website already, doesn't say where it's from (it only mentions "Think and Grow Rich" because it's his most popular book, already checked it and it's not from there).

Thanks for looking, though.

I honestly think he plainly said it one time without anyone recording him doing so, or him/someone else writing it down, and everyone has just accredited it to him ever since because someone else said he did.
