More quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
I place this day, my life, my loved ones, my work in the Lord's hands. There is no harm in the Lord's hands, only good. Whatever happens, whatever results, if I am in the Lord's hands it is the Lord's will and it is good.
Norman Vincent Peale
There are two primary forces in this world, fear and faith. Fear can move you to destructiveness or sickness or failure. Only in rare instances will it motivate you to accomplishment. But faith is a greater force. Faith can drive itself into your consciousness and set you free from fear forever.
Norman Vincent Peale
The big question isn't whether you have problems the all-important factor is your attitude toward problems. How you think of the problem is more important than the problem itself.
Norman Vincent Peale
We struggle with the complexities and avoid the simplicities.
Norman Vincent Peale

Norman Vincent Peale
Lots of people limit their possibilities by giving up easily. Never tell yourself this is too much for me. It's no use. I can't go on. If you do you're licked, and by your own thinking too. Keep believing and keep on keeping on.
Norman Vincent Peale
I truly believe that if we keep telling the Christmas story, singing the Christmas songs, and living the Christmas spirit, we can bring joy and happiness and peace to this world.
Norman Vincent Peale
There are some things you can't learn from others. You have to pass through the fire.
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
There is a real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.
Norman Vincent Peale
Not every day can be an easy one, nor every day fully happy but even a day of tough going and difficulty can be a good day.
Norman Vincent Peale
Nothing can stand in the way of the man who focuses his entire self on a problem.
Norman Vincent Peale
Just a moment ago nature put on one of its most spectacular demonstrations.
Norman Vincent Peale
Thinking about forgiving is not enough. You must come to a moment when you say, With God's help I now forgive.
Norman Vincent Peale
We live in the midst of the greatest scientific civilization in the history of the world. But the greatest wisdom walking our streets is not in any laboratory scientist, but the wisdom of Jesus Christ.
Norman Vincent Peale
If you have zest and enthusiasm you attract zest and enthusiasm. Life does give back in kind.
Norman Vincent Peale
