Norman Vincent Peale

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