More quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
People fail to understand that unless they are themselves willing to give, they will never receive.
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
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
Hold an image of the life you want, and that image will become fact.
Norman Vincent Peale
Faith is the most powerful of all forces operating in humanity and when you have it in depth nothing can get you down.
Norman Vincent Peale
Fear can infect us early in life until eventually it cuts a deep groove of apprehension in all our thinking. To counteract it, let faith, hope and courage enter your thinking. Fear is strong, but faith is stronger yet.
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
I believe in the power of Jesus Christ to resolve any difficulty, to remove any weakness, to heal any disease.
Norman Vincent Peale
You only lose energy when life becomes dull in your mind. Your mind gets bored and therefore tired of doing nothing.
Norman Vincent Peale
The trouble with the average person is that he doesn't trust himself sufficiently to create and deliver ideas.
Norman Vincent Peale
Practice hope. As hopefulness becomes a habit, you can achieve a permanently happy spirit.
Norman Vincent Peale
Realize that there are not hopeless situations there are only people who take hopeless attitudes.
Norman Vincent Peale
The man who lives for himself is a failure. Even if he gains much wealth, position or fortune, he is still a failure. The man who lives for others has achieved true success. A rich man who consecrates his wealth and his position to the good of humanity is a success.
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
Do not exclusively say your prayers in the form of asking God for something. The prayer of thanksgiving is much more powerful.
Norman Vincent Peale
Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.
Norman Vincent Peale
If you can only believe! If you will only believe! Then nothing, nothing, will be impossible for you! That is the truth and the Gospel, and it is wonderful. It's the good news.
Norman Vincent Peale
Go to inspirational meetings, get to know men and women who are doing inspiring things. Above all, run as hard as you can from the cynics and gripers and the negativists. They are not going anywhere. You are.
Norman Vincent Peale
Who decides whether you shall be happy or unhappy? You do!
Norman Vincent Peale
Life is a blend of laughter and tears, a combination of rain and sunshine.
Norman Vincent Peale
