More quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
Through persistence, self-knowledge, prayer, commitment, optimism, a resolute trust in God and the building of your own personal moral strength, you can enjoy the blessings of a deeper faith and face the difficulties of life with courage and confidence.
Norman Vincent Peale
Joy increases as you give it, and diminishes as you try to keep it yourself. In giving it, you will accumulate a deposit of joy greater than you ever believed possible.
Norman Vincent Peale
The word resentment means to re-feel...to feel again. Someone wrongs or wounds you in resenting it, you re-feel the injury. And you re-hurt yourself. The Hebrew Talmud says that a person who bears a grudge is Like one who, having cut one hand while handling a knife, avenges himself by stabbing the other hand.
Norman Vincent Peale
Only the person who risks is truly free. A man's conquest of himself dwarfs the conquest of Mt. Everest.
Norman Vincent Peale
God answers prayer in three ways: yes, no, and wait awhile.
Norman Vincent Peale
Think, the successful idea is always in your mind. Think it out.
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
We've all heard that we have to learn from our mistakes, but I think it's more important to learn from successes. If you learn only from your mistakes, you are inclined to learn only errors.
Norman Vincent Peale
If there is no fun in it, something is wrong with all you are doing.
Norman Vincent Peale
Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger.
Norman Vincent Peale
You don't have to be tired and bored. Get interested in something. Get absolutely enthralled in something. Throw yourself into it with abandon.
Norman Vincent Peale
Promises are like crying babies in a theater, they should be carried out at once.
Norman Vincent Peale
You became a worrier by practicing worry. You can become free of worry by practicing the opposite and stronger habit of faith. With all the strength and perseverance you can command, start practicing faith.
Norman Vincent Peale
What seems impossible one minute becomes, through faith, possible the next.
Norman Vincent Peale
Masterly retreat is in itself a victory.
Norman Vincent Peale
Believe it is possible to solve your problem. Tremendous things happen to the believer. So believe the answer will come. It will.
Norman Vincent Peale
Learn to relax. Your body is precious, as it houses your mind and spirit. Inner peace begins with a relaxed body.
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
Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.
Norman Vincent Peale
Not every day can be an easy one, nor every day fully happy but even a day of tough going and difficulty can be a good day.
Norman Vincent Peale
