Norman Vincent Peale

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
Never forget that all the enthusiasm you need is in your mind. Let it out - let it live - let it motivate you.

Norman Vincent Peale
You can be greater than anything that can happen to you.
Norman Vincent Peale
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
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
Enthusiasm releases the drive to carry you over obstacles and adds significance to all you do.
Norman Vincent Peale
Americans used to roar like lions for liberty now we bleat like sheep for security.
Norman Vincent Peale
Getting people to like you is merely the other side of liking them.
Norman Vincent Peale
Eliminate the word impossible from your conversation, drop it from your thoughts, erase it from your attitudes. Stop rationalizing it. Cease excusing it. Substitute for it that bright and shining word...POSSIBLE.
