More quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
Today remind yourself that nothing is too good to be true. Your great hopes can be realized. Your most wonderful dreams can come true. All that you really need, you can have. An incredible goodness is operating on your behalf. If you are living a paltry life, resolve to stop it today. Expect great things to happen.
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
Imagination is the true magic carpet.
Norman Vincent Peale
The word no denotes a shutting of the door. It means failure, defeat, delay. But spell in backwards and take new hope, for backwards it spells on.
Norman Vincent Peale
Joy increases as you give it, and diminishes as you try to keep it yourself. In giving it, you will accumulate a deposit of joy greater than you ever believed possible.
Norman Vincent Peale
Getting people to like you is merely the other side of liking them.
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
We've all heard that we have to learn from our mistakes, but I think it's more important to learn from successes. If you learn only from your mistakes, you are inclined to learn only errors.
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
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
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
The positive thinker is a hard-headed, tough-minded, and factual realist. He sees all the difficulties clearly... which is more than can be said for the average negative thinker. But he sees more than difficulties - he tries to see the solutions of those difficulties.
Norman Vincent Peale
Every day practice emptying your mind of all unhealthy attitudes.
Norman Vincent Peale
Before you go to sleep, run over your personal world mentally and thank God for everyone and everything.
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
Believe in yourself, believe in your future.
Norman Vincent Peale
Good will cannot flow toward you unless it flows from you.
Norman Vincent Peale
No matter how dark things become, someone is always with you - and that someone is God. He helps by giving you peace and a positive mental attitude.
Norman Vincent Peale
People fail to understand that unless they are themselves willing to give, they will never receive.
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
