Norman Vincent Peale
God answers prayer in three ways: yes, no, and wait awhile.

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.

Norman Vincent Peale

Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.
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
If you have zest and enthusiasm you attract zest and enthusiasm. Life does give back in kind.
Norman Vincent Peale
