More From Norman Vincent Peale

Just As We May Learn From Our Successes (how To Do It) So Also Can We Learn From Our Mistakes (how Not To Do It). It Just Isn't In The Cards That Anybody Should Get By Forever Without Making Mistakes And Perhaps Sometimes Making Costly Ones.

Get The Heat And Emotion Out Worry, And Put Cold, Ruthless Scrutiny Onto The Problem, And Worry Loses Its Power. When We Are Worried And Filled With Apprehension, We Become Panicky And Are Likely To See Only Gloom And Failure. There Isn't Any Situation So Bad That It Won't Become A Lot Better When You Think Rationally - And Spiritually - About It. God Gives You The Ability To Think Rationally About Things By Filling You With Peace And Faith.

Our Problem Is To Become Acquainted With Our Own Selves, Letting Our Personalities Loose Upon The World For The Sheer Adventure Of Their Full Development And In The Positive Hope That They May In Their Own Way Lift The Level Of Humanity.

Faith Is The Most Powerful Of All Forces Operating In Humanity And When You Have It In Depth Nothing Can Get You Down.

When You Keep Asserting That Things Are Going To Work Out Well, That You Can Do The Job, That You Will Not Have A Flat Tire, That You Will Get There On Time, By Talking Up Good Results You Invoke The Law Of Positive Effects And Good Results Occur. Things Do Turn Out Well.

The Bigger Your Problems, The Bigger Your Prayer Should Be.

Problems Are To The Mind What Exercise Is To The Muscles, They Toughen And Make Strong.

We Tend To Get What We Expect.

Positive Thinking

Nothing Is More Confusing Than People Who Give Good Advice But Set A Bad Example.

One Of The Greatest Moments In Anybody's Developing Experience Is When He No Longer Tries To Hide From Himself But Determines To Get Acquainted With Himself As He Really Is.

Self Confidence

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.

First Thing Every Morning Before You Arise Say Out Loud, I Believe.

Change Your Thoughts And You Change Your World.

God In His Answers To Prayer Often Says "yes." Sometimes He Says "wait." Often He Says "no." In Any Case, His Will Is Done, And True Faith Is To Believe That What Happened Has Happened For The Best. If One Does Not Take That Attitude, He Is Setting His Personal Desire Against The Wisdom Of God. Oftentimes We Confuse With Faith Merely That Which We Desire.

Jesus Is Not A Memory. He Is An Actual, Contemporary, Reachable Person. He Is The Living Christ, Who Has The Power To Enter Into People's Lives And Change And Lift Them Up.

If You Worry, You Are A Worrier Because Your Mind Is Saturated With Worry Thoughts. To Counteract These, Mark Every Passage In Your Bible That Speaks Of Faith, Hope, And Courage.

To Go Fast, Row Slowly.

When You Are Afraid, Do The Thing You Are Afraid Of And Soon You Will Lose Your Fear Of It.

The Word Resentment Means To Re-feel...to Feel Again. Someone Wrongs Or Wounds You; In Resenting It, You Re-feel The Injury. And You Re-hurt Yourself. The Hebrew Talmud Says That A Person Who Bears A Grudge Is "like One Who, Having Cut One Hand While Handling A Knife, Avenges Himself By Stabbing The Other Hand."

When You Pray For Anyone You Tend To Modify Your Personal Attitude Toward Him. You Lift The Relationship Thereby To A Higher Level. The Best In The Other Person Begins To Flow Out Toward You As Your Best Flows Toward Him. In The Meeting Of The Best In Each A Higher Unity Of Understanding Is Established.

Everybody Really Knows What To Do To Have His Life Filled With Joy. What Is It? Quit Hating People; Start Loving Them. Quit Being Mad At People; Start Liking Them. Quit Doing Wrong; Quit Being Filled With Fear. Quit Thinking About Yourself And Go Out And Do Something For Other People. Everybody Knows What You Have To Do To Be Happy.

No Matter Where You Start, If You Work Hard And If You Think Positively And If You Dream Dreams And If You Have Good Character, You Can Lift The Status Of Yourself, Your Family, Your Friends And Everyone Around You. This Doesn't Mean That Your Object In Life Is To Become Rich Or Famous. Just Do The Best You Can With Yourself.

I Sometimes Think We Ought To Bring A Bill Before Congress Changing Our National Symbol From The Eagle To The Buffalo, Because We Are More Like The Buffalo Than The Eagle. The Eagle Is A Powerful Bird. It Flies Alone. It Rises Up Into The Sky With Authority. It Is Master Of All It Surveys. The Eagle Is An Individualist And Was Selected From Among The Rest Of The Birds To Be Our Symbol. But The Buffalo Was Never Alone. It Always Ran In A Herd With Other Buffaloes. And, Friends, I Call Your Attention That The Buffaloes Are Gone From The Open Range, But The Eagles Are Still Soaring.

Realize That There Are No Hopeless Situations; There Are Only People Who Take Hopeless Attitudes.

When Obstacles Or Difficulties Arise, The Positive Thinker Takes Them As Creative Opportunities.

No Sin Is Committed Merely Because A Thought Enters The Mind, Provided It Is Not Made Welcome. Perhaps We May Use The Figure That The Thought First Passes Into An Anteroom, Where It Stands Before The Mind Acting As A Judge. No Matter How Sordid Or Evil, It Has Not Touched The Personality With Its Infamy Nor In Any Way Laid Guilt Upon The Soul Unless And Until The Mind Acting As Judge Admits It With A Welcome.

If You Want Things To Be Different, Perhaps The Answer Is To Become Different Yourself.

Believe In Yourself, Believe In Your Future.

Be Interesting, Be Enthusiastic... And Don't Talk Too Much.

Cut The "im" Out Of Impossible, Leading That Dynamic Word Standing Out Free And Clear-possible.

Negative Thinking Definitely Attracts Negative Results.

Positive Thinking

If You Are Not Getting As Much From Life As You Want To, Then Examine The State Of Your Enthusiasm.

Good Intentions Are No Substitute For Obedience.

Good Intentions

Though One May Acquire Much In Wealth, Fame, Or Honor, The Real Joy Of Life Does Not Lie There But, Rather, In Keeping The Romance Of Living Going. Nothing Gives Such Complete And Profound Happiness As The Perpetually Fresh Wonder And Mystery Of Exciting Life.

Many People Conceive Of Religion As Something Apart From Everyday Affairs Of The World. They Think Of It In Terms Of Ceremony Or Ritual Or Sermons And Often It Strikes Them As Being Dull Or Not Particularly Interesting. Religion May Be Described In Many Ways. I Like To Think Of It As A Medicine, A Healing Medicine For The Mind.

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.

Medication Is Of Course Important But Do Not Conclude That A Pill Dissolving In Your Stomach Is Necessarily More Powerful Than A Healing Thought In Your Mind.

Positive Thinking Is How You Think About A Problem. Enthusiasm Is How You Feel About A Problem. The Two Together Determine What You Do About A Problem.

Just A Moment Ago Nature Put On One Of Its Most Spectacular Demonstrations.

Think Health, Eat Sparingly, Exercise Regularly, Walk A Lot, And Think Positively About Yourself.

It Is Always To Early To Quit.

Have Absolutely No Sense Of Guilt About Being Happy And Successful If You Operate Honestly And With A Sense Of Social Responsibility.

Inspirational Life

There Exists A Powerful Energizing Force In The Spiritual Life Principle. All Energy Began With The Creator, Who Infused It Not Only In All Natural Processes, But Also Into That Higher Form Of Nature Called Human Nature. The More Closely, Then, That A Person Identifies With The Creator, The More Surely That Person Will Experience Within His Or Her Own Nature The Process Of Re-creation Which Operates In All Creation.

Make Sure You Pay Attention To What's Right With Your Life, Not Just What's Wrong.

Positive Thinking

Help Other People To Cope With Their Problems, And Your Own Will Be Easier To Cope With.

Be An All-out, Not A Hold-out.

Nothing Can Stand In The Way Of The Man Who Focuses His Entire Self On A Problem.

One Person Can Make A Difference. You Don't Have To Be A Big Shot. You Don't Have To Have A Lot Of Influence. You Just Have To Have Faith In Your Power To Change Things.

Making A Difference

Empty Pockets Never Held Anyone Back. Only Empty Heads And Empty Hearts Can Do That.

Never Tell Yourself ... I Can't Go On. If You Do You're Licked, And By Your Own Thinking Too.

Make A Mental List Of Happy Thoughts And Pass Them Through Your Mind Several Times Every Day.
