More quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
Good intentions are no substitute for obedience.
Norman Vincent Peale
Nobody ever mastered any skill except through intensive persistent and intelligent practice.
Norman Vincent Peale
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
I believe in the power of Jesus Christ to resolve any difficulty, to remove any weakness, to heal any disease.
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 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
The individual who knows the score about life sees difficulties as opportunities
Norman Vincent Peale
Life is a blend of laughter and tears, a combination of rain and sunshine.
Norman Vincent Peale
If you can only believe! If you will only believe! Then nothing, nothing, will be impossible for you! That is the truth and the Gospel, and it is wonderful. It's the good news.
Norman Vincent Peale
You don't have to be tired and bored. Get interested in something. Get absolutely enthralled in something. Throw yourself into it with abandon.
Norman Vincent Peale
Picturize, prayerize, actualize.
Norman Vincent Peale
Go out of your way to talk optimistically about everything.
Norman Vincent Peale
Do not exclusively say your prayers in the form of asking God for something. The prayer of thanksgiving is much more powerful.
Norman Vincent Peale
Talk peaceful to be peaceful.
Norman Vincent Peale
Become a possibilitarian.
Norman Vincent Peale
America has become so tense and nervous it has been years since I have seen anyone sleep in church - and that is a sad situation.
Norman Vincent Peale
If you visualize a failure, you tend to create the conditions that produce failure. Visualize-believe-and thank God in advance.
Norman Vincent Peale
Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger.
Norman Vincent Peale
Frequently remind yourself that God is with you, that He will never fail you, that you can count upon him. Say these words, God is with me, helping me.
Norman Vincent Peale
Thoughts and words form your mental image. And since we become what we picture be sure your thoughts and words express prosperity and blessing rather than poverty and defeat.
Norman Vincent Peale
