More quotes by Norman Vincent Peale

Image
The one person who most blocks you from a full, happy, and successful life is you. They are therefore wise who make themselves an asset. We can be our own worst enemies or best friends. We can be a source of trouble or a cure for trouble. So if you feel empty, as many do, start by getting free from yourself as a first stop to vibrant living.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
I place this day, my life, my loved ones, my work in the Lord's hands. There is no harm in the Lord's hands, only good. Whatever happens, whatever results, if I am in the Lord's hands it is the Lord's will and it is good.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
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
Image
Plan your work - work your plan. Lack of system produces that 'I'm swamped' feeling.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
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
Image
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

Norman Vincent Peale

When we have peace in our hearts, we also have love in our hearts and good will toward all men.

It takes struggle, a goal and enthusiasm to make a champion.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Today any successful and competent businessman will employ the latest and best-tested methods in production, distribution, and administration. Many are discovering that one of the greatest of all efficiency methods is prayer power.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Stand up to an obstacle. Just stand up to it, that's all, and don't give way under it, and it will finally break. You will break it. Something has to break, and it won't be you, it will be the obstacle.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Good will cannot flow toward you unless it flows from you.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Negative thinking definitely attracts negative results.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
There is a real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Live your life and forget your age.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Fear is never a reason for quitting it is only an excuse.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
The greatest measure of a human being isn't how he handles himself when things are going well, but how he handles himself when things are going badly, when defeat comes.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
I believe in the power of Jesus Christ to resolve any difficulty, to remove any weakness, to heal any disease.
