Live your life and forget your age.
Norman Vincent Peale

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.

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.

. . . a basic law: the more you practice the art of thankfulness, the more you have to be thankful for. This, of course, is a fact. Thankfulness does tend to reproduce in kind.

Life is not all fun and easy going. Far from it there are many rough times. But, sadly, we too often let the hard times dull our enthusiasm. And that is dangerous, if not fatal, to our lives.
Norman Vincent Peale

To be successful is to be helpful, caring and constructive, to make everything and everyone you touch a little bit better.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
The power of the Plus Factor is potential but it is not self-activating. It is latent in human beings and will remain latent until it is activated.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
And if the mind thinks with a believing attitude one can do amazing things.
Norman Vincent Peale

Life is a blend of laughter and tears, a combination of rain and sunshine.
Norman Vincent Peale

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

Begin where you are. Don't wait for someone else to change things for you. Do it yourself
Norman Vincent Peale

Never use the word “impossible” seriously again. Toss it into the verbal wastebucket.
Norman Vincent Peale

There are no circumstances in your life where God will not stand will not stand with you and help you, no matter what the trouble may be.
