More quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
When I dig another out of trouble, the hole from which I lift him is the place where I bury my own.
Norman Vincent Peale
Change your thoughts and you change your world.
Norman Vincent Peale
Religious faith may very well be considered a science, for it responds invariably to certain formulae. Perform the technique of faith according to the laws which have been proved workable in human experience and you will always get a result of power.
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
Think excitement, talk excitement, act out excitement, and you are bound to become an excited person.
Norman Vincent Peale
It is indeed possible for those who have the will, courage and faith.
Norman Vincent Peale
To go fast, row slowly.
Norman Vincent Peale
The mind, ever the willing servant, will respond to boldness, for boldness, in effect, is a command to deliver mental resources.
Norman Vincent Peale
The word resentment means to re-feel...to feel again. Someone wrongs or wounds you in resenting it, you re-feel the injury. And you re-hurt yourself. The Hebrew Talmud says that a person who bears a grudge is Like one who, having cut one hand while handling a knife, avenges himself by stabbing the other hand.
Norman Vincent Peale
Religion does not blithely promise some sort of no-trouble, no-problem, no-poverty world but rather a spirit, a power, an enthusiasm that endows everyone with the ability to overcome any and all of it.
Norman Vincent Peale
Imagination is the true magic carpet.
Norman Vincent Peale
You can have peace of mind, improved health and an ever-increasing flow of energy. Life can be full of joy and satisfaction.
Norman Vincent Peale
Picturize, prayerize, actualize.
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
Every individual forms his own estimate of himself and that basic estimate goes far toward determining what he becomes.
Norman Vincent Peale
The one person who most blocks you from a full, happy, and successful life is you. They are therefore wise who make themselves an asset. We can be our own worst enemies or best friends. We can be a source of trouble or a cure for trouble. So if you feel empty, as many do, start by getting free from yourself as a first stop to vibrant living.
Norman Vincent Peale
Hold an image of the life you want, and that image will become fact.
Norman Vincent Peale
No matter how dark things become, someone is always with you - and that someone is God. He helps by giving you peace and a positive mental attitude.
Norman Vincent Peale
Remind yourself that God is with you and nothing can defeat him.
Norman Vincent Peale
There are some things you can't learn from others. You have to pass through the fire.
Norman Vincent Peale
