If you can only believe! If you will only believe! Then nothing, nothing, will be impossible for you! That is the truth and the Gospel, and it is wonderful. It's the good news.

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

God never made anyone else exactly like you, and he never will again. Thank him for yourself and then for all the rest of his glorious handiwork.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
I truly believe that the individual who learns to practice thanksgiving activates within himself and around himself continuous victories and blessings from God.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Hope is wanting something so eagerly that-in spite of all the evidence that you're not going to get it-you go right on wanting it.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Whenever a negative thought concerning your personal power comes to mind, deliberately voice a positive thought to cancel it out.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Do not exclusively say your prayers in the form of asking God for something. The prayer of thanksgiving is much more powerful.
Norman Vincent Peale

Listen for the magic word of motivation and you will hear it. And then? Well, the sky is the limit!
