Americans are so tense and keyed up that it is impossible even to put them to sleep with a sermon.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
The trouble with the average person is that he doesn't trust himself sufficiently to create and deliver ideas.
Norman Vincent Peale

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
Think excitement, talk excitement, act out excitement, and you are bound to become an excited person. Life will take on a new nest, deeper interest and greater meaning. You can think, talk and act yourself into dullness or into monotony or into unhappiness. By the same process you can build up inspiration, excitement and surging depth of joy.
Norman Vincent Peale

Four things for success: work and pray, think and believe.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
The one person who most blocks you from a full, happy, and successful life is you. They are therefore wise who make themselves an asset. We can be our own worst enemies or best friends. We can be a source of trouble or a cure for trouble. So if you feel empty, as many do, start by getting free from yourself as a first stop to vibrant living.
Norman Vincent Peale

Americans used to roar like lions for liberty now we bleat like sheep for security.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
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
Image
Enthusiasm releases the drive to carry you over obstacles and adds significance to all you do.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
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.
