More quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
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.
Norman Vincent Peale
Before you go to sleep, run over your personal world mentally and thank God for everyone and everything.
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.
Norman Vincent Peale
The word no denotes a shutting of the door. It means failure, defeat, delay. But spell in backwards and take new hope, for backwards it spells on.
Norman Vincent Peale
Stop resisting your problems so furiously in your mind. Stop struggling to solve them. If you do that, a great sense of peace followed by a great sense of power will come to you.
Norman Vincent Peale
By success, of course, I do not mean that you may become rich, famous, or powerful for that does not, of necessity, represent achievement. Indeed, not infrequently, such individuals represent pathetic failure as persons.
Norman Vincent Peale
The as if principle works. Act as if you were not afraid and you will become courageous, as if you could and you'll find you can. Act as if you like a person and you'll find a friendship.
Norman Vincent Peale
Nothing can stand in the way of the man who focuses his entire self on a problem.
Norman Vincent Peale
I believe there are two sides to the phenomenon known as death, this side where we live, and the other side where we shall continue to live. Eternity does not start ith death. We are in eternity now.
Norman Vincent Peale
Think excitement, talk excitement, act out excitement, and you are bound to become an excited person.
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
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
And now we get down to two magic words that tell us how to accomplish just about anything we want to accomplish, two powerful words that can change any situation, two dynamic words that all too few people use. And what are these two amazing words? Do it!
Norman Vincent Peale
No one can ever overcome anything until his thoughts are creative and positive.
Norman Vincent Peale
Prayer is more than words. It's listening, seeing and feeling.
Norman Vincent Peale
If I wanted to become a tramp, I would seek information and advice from the most successful tramp I could find. If I wanted to become a failure, I would seek advice from people who have never succeeded. If I wanted to succeed in all things, I would look around me for those who are succeeding, and do as they have done.
Norman Vincent Peale
Plant seeds of expectation in your mind cultivate thoughts that anticipate achievement. Believe in yourself as being capable of overcoming all obstacles and weaknesses.
Norman Vincent Peale
Remember: what you think you will become - good or bad, weak or strong, defeated or victorious.
Norman Vincent Peale
When fate throws a dagger at you, there are ways to catch it. If you catch it by the blade, you can harm yourself. But if you catch it by the handle, you can use it to help you fight through the obstacles ahead.
Norman Vincent Peale
Life is a blend of laughter and tears, a combination of rain and sunshine.
Norman Vincent Peale
