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.

He isn't asking FOR the quote as he obviously already has it (Read his post :dumb: ) he wants the ORIGIN; where it came from.

That book wasn't written by Napolean Hill, it just quotes the same quotation. I need where the quotation was originally from.

Same as above, that's clearly not where the quotation is from.

See above comments, that's not where the quotation is originally from. Just a book that quotes it.

I could not find a direct source to a book or an article. Maybe it was just one of his famous quotes that he said?

Yeah, as Vevo said I don't think there is a direct place in which you can site it..

It's cite* not site. I just had to do that lol. OT: OP I just checked multiple book citations of the quote and there isn't one to the direct source. You should talk to your teacher about this.

Lol @ Cite Correction.

And I already have talked to him about it- if I can't figure out when/where he said it, then it's (apparently) not a valid quote, meaning I'm rewriting an entire essay.
