Never talk defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith, victory.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Stand up to an obstacle. Just stand up to it, that's all, and don't give way under it, and it will finally break. You will break it. Something has to break, and it won't be you, it will be the obstacle.
Norman Vincent Peale

Norman Vincent Peale
Image
They are inherently good - the bad reactions aren't basic. Every human being is a child of God and has more good in him than evil - but circumstances and associates can step up the bad and reduce the good. I've got great faith in the essential fairness and decency - you may say goodness - of the human being.

Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Think enthusiastically about everything but especially about your job. If you do so, you'll put a touch of glory in your life. If you love your job with enthusiasm, you'll shake it to pieces.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.
Norman Vincent Peale

Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities -- always see them, for they're always there.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
The greatest secret for eliminating the infirmity complex, which is another term for deep and profound self-doubt, is to fill your mind to overflowing faith. Develop a tremendous faith in God and that will give you a humble yet soundly realistic faith in yourself.
