Norman Vincent Peale

Whatever you are doing in the game of life, give it all you've got
Norman Vincent Peale

Norman Vincent Peale
People fail to understand that unless they are themselves willing to give, they will never receive.
Norman Vincent Peale
Listen for the magic word of motivation and you will hear it. And then? Well, the sky is the limit!
Norman Vincent Peale
If I wanted to become a tramp, I would seek information and advice from the most successful tramp I could find. If I wanted to become a failure, I would seek advice from people who have never succeeded. If I wanted to succeed in all things, I would look around me for those who are succeeding, and do as they have done.
Norman Vincent Peale
Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate.
Norman Vincent Peale
Never use the word “impossible” seriously again. Toss it into the verbal wastebucket.
Norman Vincent Peale
God answers prayer in three ways: yes, no, and wait awhile.
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.
