More quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
One way to become enthusiastic is to look for the plus sign. To make progress in any difficult situation, you have to start with what's right about it and build on that
Norman Vincent Peale
The power of the Plus Factor is potential but it is not self-activating. It is latent in human beings and will remain latent until it is activated.
Norman Vincent Peale
Who decides whether you shall be happy or unhappy? You do!
Norman Vincent Peale
Dwelling on negative thoughts is like fertilizing weeds.
Norman Vincent Peale
The greatest secret for eliminating the infirmity complex, which is another term for deep and profound self-doubt, is to fill your mind to overflowing faith. Develop a tremendous faith in God and that will give you a humble yet soundly realistic faith in yourself.
Norman Vincent Peale
Do not be awe struck by other people and try to copy them. Nobody can be you as efficiently as you can.
Norman Vincent Peale
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
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
Let a series of happy thoughts run through your mind. They will show on your face.
Norman Vincent Peale
Good will cannot flow toward you unless it flows from you.
Norman Vincent Peale
We live in the midst of the greatest scientific civilization in the history of the world. But the greatest wisdom walking our streets is not in any laboratory scientist, but the wisdom of Jesus Christ.
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
You don't have to be tired and bored. Get interested in something. Get absolutely enthralled in something. Throw yourself into it with abandon.
Norman Vincent Peale
I found eternal peace in a Shinto shrine. I've been to Shinto shrines and God is everywhere. Christ is one of the ways! God is everywhere.
Norman Vincent Peale
Fear is never a reason for quitting it is only an excuse.
Norman Vincent Peale
Think excitement, talk excitement, act out excitement, and you are bound to become an excited person. Life will take on a new nest, deeper interest and greater meaning. You can think, talk and act yourself into dullness or into monotony or into unhappiness. By the same process you can build up inspiration, excitement and surging depth of joy.
Norman Vincent Peale
Don't tense up no matter what, for you only close off creative power when you do.
Norman Vincent Peale
To go fast, row slowly.
Norman Vincent Peale
Go to inspirational meetings, get to know men and women who are doing inspiring things. Above all, run as hard as you can from the cynics and gripers and the negativists. They are not going anywhere. You are.
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
