Inspirational Quotations by Norman Vincent Peale
- There is only one group of people who don't have problems
and they're all dead. Problems are a sign of life.
So the more problems you have, the more alive you are.
- Joy increases as you give it, and diminishes as you try to keep it for yourself.
In giving it, you will accumulate a deposit of joy greaterthan you ever believed possible.
- When you become detached mentally from yourself and concentrate on
helping other people with their difficulties, you will be able to
cope with your own more effectively. Somehow, the act of self-giving
is a personal power-releasing factor.
- Those who are fired with an enthusiastic idea and
who allow it to take hold and dominate their thoughts,
find that new worlds open for them.
As long as enthusiasm holds out, so will new opportunities.
- Have great hopes and dare to go all out for them.
Have great dreams and dare to live them.
Have tremendous expectations and believe in them.
- You are not what you think you are,
but what you think, you are.
- When you affirm big, believe big, and pray big, big things happen.
- Don't write off the importance of hard work, the guts to keep at it, a definite goal, and the ability to have fun in the process. If there's no fun in it, something's wrong with all you're doing.
