More quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
We struggle with the complexities and avoid the simplicities.
Norman Vincent Peale
You can be greater than anything that can happen to you.
Norman Vincent Peale
All successful people have a goal. No one can get anywhere unless he knows where he wants to go and what he wants to be or do.
Norman Vincent Peale
Believe and create is a basic fact of successful living.
Norman Vincent Peale
Americans used to roar like lions for liberty now we bleat like sheep for security.
Norman Vincent Peale
Every day remind yourself of your own ability, of your good mind and affirm that you can make something really good out of your life.
Norman Vincent Peale
Don't tense up no matter what, for you only close off creative power when you do.
Norman Vincent Peale
The mind quickly responds to teaching and discipline. You can make the mind give you back anything you want.
Norman Vincent Peale
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
If you can only believe! If you will only believe! Then nothing, nothing, will be impossible for you! That is the truth and the Gospel, and it is wonderful. It's the good news.
Norman Vincent Peale
Think enthusiastically about everything but especially about your job. If you do so, you'll put a touch of glory in your life. If you love your job with enthusiasm, you'll shake it to pieces.
Norman Vincent Peale
Understanding can overcome any situation, however mysterious or insurmountable it may appear to be.
Norman Vincent Peale
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
People who are really efficient seem to do things easily, with a minimum of effort. In doing so they release maximum power.
Norman Vincent Peale
The more you venture to live greatly, the more you will find within you what it takes to get on top of the things and stay there.
Norman Vincent Peale
Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities. Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. But with self-confidence you can succeed. A sense of inferiority and inadequacy interferes with the attainment of your hopes, but self-confidence leads to self-realization and successful achievement.
Norman Vincent Peale
Go forward confidently, energetically attacking problems, expecting favorable outcomes.
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
Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.
Norman Vincent Peale
Promises are like crying babies in a theater, they should be carried out at once.
Norman Vincent Peale
