More quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
Put God to work for you and maximize your potential in our divinely ordered capitalist system.
Norman Vincent Peale
Never say anything to hurt anyone. Moreover . . . refrain from double talk, from shrewd and canny remarks that are designed to advance our interests at someone's disadvantage. We are to turn our back upon evil, and in every way possible, do good, help people and bring blessings into their lives.
Norman Vincent Peale
Begin where you are. Begin now.
Norman Vincent Peale
If there is no fun in it, something is wrong with all you are doing.
Norman Vincent Peale
Resentment or grudges do no harm to the person against whom you hold these feelings but every day and every night of your life, they are eating at you.
Norman Vincent Peale
The man who lives for himself is a failure. Even if he gains much wealth, position or fortune, he is still a failure. The man who lives for others has achieved true success. A rich man who consecrates his wealth and his position to the good of humanity is a success.
Norman Vincent Peale
Be humble, be big in mind and soul, be kindly you will like yourself that way and so will other people
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
Check what you did right and don't get lost in basking on your glory. It will make it easier to repeat whatever you did that created the success.
Norman Vincent Peale
The positive thinker, on the contrary, constantly sends out positive thoughts, together with vital mental images of hope, optimism and creativity. He therefore activates the world around him positively and strongly tends to draw back to himself positive results. This, too, is a basic law of mind action.
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
Good intentions are no substitute for obedience.
Norman Vincent Peale
Nothing during the year is so impressively convincing as the vision Christmas brings of what this world would be if love became the daily practice of human beings.
Norman Vincent Peale
Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate.
Norman Vincent Peale
One of the simplest things about all facts of life is that to get where you want to go, you must keep on keeping on.
Norman Vincent Peale
I truly believe that if we keep telling the Christmas story, singing the Christmas songs, and living the Christmas spirit, we can bring joy and happiness and peace to this world.
Norman Vincent Peale
Always maintain hopefulness, especially when the going is hard.
Norman Vincent Peale
The negative principle negates. The positive principle creates. The negative principle doubts. The positive principle believes. The negative principle accepts defeat. The positive principle goes for victory.
Norman Vincent Peale
I place this day, my life, my loved ones, my work in the Lord's hands. There is no harm in the Lord's hands, only good. Whatever happens, whatever results, if I am in the Lord's hands it is the Lord's will and it is good.
Norman Vincent Peale
When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.
Norman Vincent Peale
