Thoughts and words form your mental image. And since we become what we picture be sure your thoughts and words express prosperity and blessing rather than poverty and defeat.

More quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
No matter how many worries and anxieties harass you, remember always that they are removable. Enthusiasm with its immense mental and spiritual power can cancel out all fear.
Norman Vincent Peale
Realize that there are not hopeless situations there are only people who take hopeless attitudes.
Norman Vincent Peale
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
It takes struggle, a goal and enthusiasm to make a champion.
Norman Vincent Peale
Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them.
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
Life's blows cannot break a person whose spirit is warmed at the fire of enthusiasm.
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
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.
Norman Vincent Peale
The longer I live the more I am convinced that neither age nor circumstance needs to deprive us of energy and vitality. We are at last awakening to the close relationship between religion and health. . . .our physical condition is determined very largely by our emotional condition, and our emotional life is profoundly regulated by our thought life.
Norman Vincent Peale
I found eternal peace in a Shinto shrine. I've been to Shinto shrines and God is everywhere. Christ is one of the ways! God is everywhere.
Norman Vincent Peale
Talk peaceful to be peaceful.
Norman Vincent Peale
Have absolutely no sense of guilt about being happy and successful if you operate honestly and with a sense of social responsibility.
Norman Vincent Peale
Stress the thought of plenty. Thoughts of plenty help create plenty.
Norman Vincent Peale
Resentment or grudges do no harm to the person against whom you hold these feelings but every day and every night of your life, they are eating at you.
Norman Vincent Peale
Americans used to roar like lions for liberty now we bleat like sheep for security.
Norman Vincent Peale
By success, of course, I do not mean that you may become rich, famous, or powerful for that does not, of necessity, represent achievement. Indeed, not infrequently, such individuals represent pathetic failure as persons.
Norman Vincent Peale
Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities -- always see them, for they're always there.
Norman Vincent Peale
The mind quickly responds to teaching and discipline. You can make the mind give you back anything you want.
Norman Vincent Peale
Don't bother. The glass is half-empty.
Norman Vincent Peale
