More quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
Thinking about forgiving is not enough. You must come to a moment when you say, With God's help I now forgive.
Norman Vincent Peale
It is indeed possible for those who have the will, courage and faith.
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
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
We live in the midst of the greatest scientific civilization in the history of the world. But the greatest wisdom walking our streets is not in any laboratory scientist, but the wisdom of Jesus Christ.
Norman Vincent Peale
Positive thinking is how you think about a problem. Enthusiasm is how you feel about a problem. The two together determine what you do about a problem.
Norman Vincent Peale
Our problem is to become acquainted with our own selves, letting our personalities loose upon the world for the sheer adventure of their full development and in the positive hope that they may in their own way lift the level of humanity.
Norman Vincent Peale
You can be greater than anything that can happen to you.
Norman Vincent Peale
Just a moment ago nature put on one of its most spectacular demonstrations.
Norman Vincent Peale
There are two primary forces in this world, fear and faith. Fear can move you to destructiveness or sickness or failure. Only in rare instances will it motivate you to accomplishment. But faith is a greater force. Faith can drive itself into your consciousness and set you free from fear forever.
Norman Vincent Peale
Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.
Norman Vincent Peale
The positive thinker, on the contrary, constantly sends out positive thoughts, together with vital mental images of hope, optimism and creativity. He therefore activates the world around him positively and strongly tends to draw back to himself positive results. This, too, is a basic law of mind action.
Norman Vincent Peale
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
Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.
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
Prayer is more than words. It's listening, seeing and feeling.
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
Expect great things, and great things will come.
Norman Vincent Peale
To go fast, row slowly.
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
