Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities. Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. But with self-confidence you can succeed. A sense of inferiority and inadequacy interferes with the attainment of your hopes, but self-confidence leads to self-realization and successful achievement.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
The secret of the law of abundance is this: In order to receive and appreciate the good things of life, you must first give.
Norman Vincent Peale

Make a list of your friends and determine who is the most positive thinker among them and deliberately cultivate his society.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
I believe in the power of Jesus Christ to resolve any difficulty, to remove any weakness, to heal any disease.
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.

Infantile people complain and say that God is cruel or that there is no God. Mature people, however, know that there is wisdom and sometimes an eternal kindness in God's refusals.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
The man who lives for himself is a failure. Even if he gains much wealth, position or fortune, he is still a failure. The man who lives for others has achieved true success. A rich man who consecrates his wealth and his position to the good of humanity is a success.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
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
Image
The negative principle negates. The positive principle creates. The negative principle doubts. The positive principle believes. The negative principle accepts defeat. The positive principle goes for victory.
Norman Vincent Peale

Talk peaceful to be peaceful.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
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
Image
When a problem comes along, study it until you are completely knowledgeable. Then find that weak spot, break the problem apart, and the rest will be easy.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Take a new look at your present impossible. Consider positive ways to handle it.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Good will cannot flow toward you unless it flows from you.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
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
Image
If you have zest and enthusiasm you attract zest and enthusiasm. Life does give back in kind.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
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
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.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
The how thinker gets problems solved effectively because he wastes no time with futile ifs but goes right to work on the creative how.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Enthusiasm releases the drive to carry you over obstacles and adds significance to all that you do. It tones up your physical vitality and gives warmth to all your personal relationships. When you associate with enthusiasm long enough it grabs you and takes over within you.
