The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Even if you may be down to the worst, the best is potentially within you. You only have to find it, release it, and rise up with it. This requires courage and character, to be sure, but the main requirement is faith. Cultivate faith and you will have the necessary courage and character.

Imagination is the true magic carpet.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
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
Image
The positive thinker is a hard-headed, tough-minded, and factual realist. He sees all the difficulties clearly... which is more than can be said for the average negative thinker. But he sees more than difficulties - he tries to see the solutions of those difficulties.

Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.
Norman Vincent Peale

Norman Vincent Peale

The life of inner peace, being harmonious and without stress, is the easiest type of existence.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
You can have peace of mind, improved health and an ever-increasing flow of energy. Life can be full of joy and satisfaction.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Religion does not blithely promise some sort of no-trouble, no-problem, no-poverty world but rather a spirit, a power, an enthusiasm that endows everyone with the ability to overcome any and all of it.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
If you worry, you are a worrier because your mind is saturated with worry thoughts. To counteract these, mark every passage in your Bible that speaks of faith, hope, and courage.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
If you visualize a failure, you tend to create the conditions that produce failure. Visualize-believe-and thank God in advance.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
What seems impossible one minute becomes, through faith, possible the next.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Every day practice emptying your mind of all unhealthy attitudes.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Dare to be what you ought to be, dare to be what you dream to be, dare to be the finest you can be. The more you dare, the surer you will be of gaining just what you dare!
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Never forget that all the enthusiasm you need is in your mind. Let it out - let it live - let it motivate you.
