Norman Vincent Peale
Hope is wanting something so eagerly that-in spite of all the evidence that you're not going to get it-you go right on wanting it.
Norman Vincent Peale
You only lose energy when life becomes dull in your mind. Your mind gets bored and therefore tired of doing nothing.
Norman Vincent Peale
We are all capable of greater things than we realize.
Norman Vincent Peale

Before you go to sleep, run over your personal world mentally and thank God for everyone and everything.
Norman Vincent Peale
. . . a basic law: the more you practice the art of thankfulness, the more you have to be thankful for. This, of course, is a fact. Thankfulness does tend to reproduce in kind. The attitude of gratitude revitalizes the entire mental process by activating all other attitudes, thus stimulating creativity.
Norman Vincent Peale
Do not build up obstacles in your imagination. Difficulties must be studied and dealt with, but they must not be magnfiied by fear
Norman Vincent Peale
When we start focusing on things we can do and don't think so much about the things we can't do, things really start to happen
Norman Vincent Peale
There is a real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.
Norman Vincent Peale
There are no circumstances in your life where God will not stand will not stand with you and help you, no matter what the trouble may be.
Norman Vincent Peale
By acting as you wish yourself to be, in due course you will become as you act.
Norman Vincent Peale
Plan your work - work your plan. Lack of system produces that 'I'm swamped' feeling.
Norman Vincent Peale
One way to become enthusiastic is to look for the plus sign. To make progress in any difficult situation, you have to start with what's right about it and build on that
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
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.
