Hope is wanting something so eagerly that-in spite of all the evidence that you're not going to get it-you go right on wanting it.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Take a new look at your present impossible. Consider positive ways to handle it.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
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

Don't bother. The glass is half-empty.
Norman Vincent Peale

Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.

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
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
Check what you did right and don't get lost in basking on your glory. It will make it easier to repeat whatever you did that created the success.
Norman Vincent Peale
