More quotes by 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
Learn from both your mistakes and successes because if you learn only from your mistakes you will only learn more errors
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
I firmly believe that when you die you will enter immediately into another life. They who have gone before us are alive in one form of life and we in another.
Norman Vincent Peale
Understanding can overcome any situation, however mysterious or insurmountable it may appear to be.
Norman Vincent Peale
Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.
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
Affirm it, visualize it, believe it and it will actualize itself.
Norman Vincent Peale
Ask for what you want, but be willing to take what God gives you. It may be better than what you asked for.
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.
Norman Vincent Peale
Talk peaceful to be peaceful.
Norman Vincent Peale
Always maintain hopefulness, especially when the going is hard.
Norman Vincent Peale
Americans are so tense and keyed up that it is impossible even to put them to sleep with a sermon.
Norman Vincent Peale
Think excitement, talk excitement, act out excitement, and you are bound to become an excited person.
Norman Vincent Peale
A primary method for gaining a mind of full peace is to practice emptying the mind.
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
Practice hope. As hopefulness becomes a habit, you can achieve a permanently happy spirit.
Norman Vincent Peale
Lots of people limit their possibilities by giving up easily. Never tell yourself this is too much for me. It's no use. I can't go on. If you do you're licked, and by your own thinking too. Keep believing and keep on keeping on.
Norman Vincent Peale
The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.
Norman Vincent Peale
Plan your work - work your plan. Lack of system produces that 'I'm swamped' feeling.
Norman Vincent Peale
