More quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
Cultivate will power, that massive creative force that God the creator built into you. Do not let it remain flabby but strengthen it by use and exercise.
Norman Vincent Peale
Infantile people complain and say that God is cruel or that there is no God. Mature people, however, know that there is wisdom and sometimes an eternal kindness in God's refusals.
Norman Vincent Peale
Go out of your way to talk optimistically about everything.
Norman Vincent Peale
Go forward confidently, energetically attacking problems, expecting favorable outcomes.
Norman Vincent Peale
There are some things you can't learn from others. You have to pass through the fire.
Norman Vincent Peale
Practice hope. As hopefulness becomes a habit, you can achieve a permanently happy spirit.
Norman Vincent Peale
Become a possibilitarian.
Norman Vincent Peale
Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.
Norman Vincent Peale
Just as we may learn from our successes (how to do it) so also can we learn from our mistakes (how not to do it). It just isn't in the cards that anybody should get by forever without making mistakes and perhaps sometimes making costly ones.
Norman Vincent Peale
The longer I live the more I am convinced that neither age nor circumstance needs to deprive us of energy and vitality. We are at last awakening to the close relationship between religion and health. . . .our physical condition is determined very largely by our emotional condition, and our emotional life is profoundly regulated by our thought life.
Norman Vincent Peale
Eliminate the word impossible from your conversation, drop it from your thoughts, erase it from your attitudes. Stop rationalizing it. Cease excusing it. Substitute for it that bright and shining word...POSSIBLE.
Norman Vincent Peale
Be an all-out, not a hold-out.
Norman Vincent Peale
Dwelling on negative thoughts is like fertilizing weeds.
Norman Vincent Peale
Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.
Norman Vincent Peale
Begin where you are. Don't wait for someone else to change things for you. Do it yourself
Norman Vincent Peale
The trouble with the average person is that he doesn't trust himself sufficiently to create and deliver ideas.
Norman Vincent Peale
When fate throws a dagger at you, there are ways to catch it. If you catch it by the blade, you can harm yourself. But if you catch it by the handle, you can use it to help you fight through the obstacles ahead.
Norman Vincent Peale
If I wanted to become a tramp, I would seek information and advice from the most successful tramp I could find. If I wanted to become a failure, I would seek advice from people who have never succeeded. If I wanted to succeed in all things, I would look around me for those who are succeeding, and do as they have done.
Norman Vincent Peale
. . . a basic law: the more you practice the art of thankfulness, the more you have to be thankful for. This, of course, is a fact. Thankfulness does tend to reproduce in kind. The attitude of gratitude revitalizes the entire mental process by activating all other attitudes, thus stimulating creativity.
Norman Vincent Peale
Realize that there are not hopeless situations there are only people who take hopeless attitudes.
