More quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.
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
The only people who don't have problems are in a cemetery.
Norman Vincent Peale
Before you go to sleep, run over your personal world mentally and thank God for everyone and everything.
Norman Vincent Peale
Today remind yourself that nothing is too good to be true. Your great hopes can be realized. Your most wonderful dreams can come true. All that you really need, you can have. An incredible goodness is operating on your behalf. If you are living a paltry life, resolve to stop it today. Expect great things to happen.
Norman Vincent Peale
Always remember that problems contain values that have improvement potential.
Norman Vincent Peale
One person can make a difference. You don't have to be a big shot. You don't have to have a lot of influence. You just have to have faith in your power to change things.
Norman Vincent Peale
The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.
Norman Vincent Peale
When you keep asserting that things are going to work out well, that you can do the job, that you will not have a flat tire, that you will get there on time, by talking up good results you invoke the law of positive effects and good results occur. Things do turn out well.
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
Let a series of happy thoughts run through your mind. They will show on your face.
Norman Vincent Peale
When a person applies enthusiasm to his job, the job will itself become alive with exciting new possibilities.
Norman Vincent Peale
Have absolutely no sense of guilt about being happy and successful if you operate honestly and with a sense of social responsibility.
Norman Vincent Peale
Go forward confidently, energetically attacking problems, expecting favorable outcomes.
Norman Vincent Peale
Remind yourself that God is with you and nothing can defeat him.
Norman Vincent Peale
Be an all-out, not a hold-out.
Norman Vincent Peale
Talk peaceful to be peaceful.
Norman Vincent Peale
Scatter good will and love and prayers all around, everywhere, and you will be astonished, not only by what it does for other people, but how it comes back to you in generous abundance.
Norman Vincent Peale
Remember: what you think you will become - good or bad, weak or strong, defeated or victorious.
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
