Norman Vincent Peale

Americans are so tense and keyed up that it is impossible even to put them to sleep with a sermon.

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

Any occupation, any job has excitement in it if you have some excitement in you.

Norman Vincent Peale

Anybody can do just about anything with himself that he really wants to and makes up his mind to do. We are all capable of greater things than we realize.

Norman Vincent Peale

Be an all-out, not a hold-out.

Norman Vincent Peale

Before you go to sleep, run over your personal world mentally and thank God for everyone and everything.

Norman Vincent Peale

Believe that all the resources you need are in your mind. That is a formula that really works.

Norman Vincent Peale

Believe that problems do have answers, that they can be overcome, and that you can solve them.

Norman Vincent Peale

Believe that you are bigger than your difficulties, for you are, indeed.

Norman Vincent Peale

Believe you can, and you can. Belief is one of the most powerful of all problem dissolvers. When you believe that a difficulty can be overcome, you are more than halfway to victory over it already.
