Once we roared like lions for liberty now we bleat like sheep for security! The solution for America's problem is not in terms of big government, but it is in big men over whom nobody stands in control but God.

Norman Vincent Peale
Negative thinking definitely attracts negative results.
Norman Vincent Peale
Never say anything to hurt anyone. Moreover . . . refrain from double talk, from shrewd and canny remarks that are designed to advance our interests at someone's disadvantage. We are to turn our back upon evil, and in every way possible, do good, help people and bring blessings into their lives.
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
Life is a blend of laughter and tears, a combination of rain and sunshine.
Norman Vincent Peale

Norman Vincent Peale
Always remember that problems contain values that have improvement potential.
Norman Vincent Peale
Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.
Norman Vincent Peale
And if the mind thinks with a believing attitude one can do amazing things.
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
The greatest measure of a human being isn't how he handles himself when things are going well, but how he handles himself when things are going badly, when defeat comes.
Norman Vincent Peale
When a problem comes along, study it until you are completely knowledgeable. Then find that weak spot, break the problem apart, and the rest will be easy.
Norman Vincent Peale
Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.
Norman Vincent Peale
There are some things you can't learn from others. You have to pass through the fire.
Norman Vincent Peale
The first step is to fill your life with positive faith that will help you through anything. The second step is to start where you are.
Norman Vincent Peale
The mind, ever the willing servant, will respond to boldness, for boldness, in effect, is a command to deliver mental resources.
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.
Norman Vincent Peale
The positive thinker is a hard-headed, tough-minded, and factual realist. He sees all the difficulties clearly... which is more than can be said for the average negative thinker. But he sees more than difficulties - he tries to see the solutions of those difficulties.
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
You became a worrier by practicing worry. You can become free of worry by practicing the opposite and stronger habit of faith. With all the strength and perseverance you can command, start practicing faith.
