We struggle with the complexities and avoid the simplicities.
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

Develop serenity and quiet attitudes through your conversation. Depending upon the words we use and the tone in which we use them, we can talk ourselves into being nervous, high-strung, and upset. By our speech, we can also achieve quiet reactions. Talk peaceful to be peaceful.

We are all capable of greater things than we realize.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Today remind yourself that nothing is too good to be true. Your great hopes can be realized. Your most wonderful dreams can come true. All that you really need, you can have. An incredible goodness is operating on your behalf. If you are living a paltry life, resolve to stop it today. Expect great things to happen.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Cultivate will power, that massive creative force that God the creator built into you. Do not let it remain flabby but strengthen it by use and exercise.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
The right kind of fear will keep us from doing wrong. The rough is only mental - it is rough only because your think it is.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Let go and let God. Let Him take over your life and run it. He knows how.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Never use the word “impossible” seriously again. Toss it into the verbal wastebucket.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Life is not all fun and easy going. Far from it there are many rough times. But, sadly, we too often let the hard times dull our enthusiasm. And that is dangerous, if not fatal, to our lives.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
There is a real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.
Norman Vincent Peale

God never made anyone else exactly like you, and he never will again. Thank him for yourself and then for all the rest of his glorious handiwork.
