New York, NY…Norman Vincent Peale May 31, 1898 – December 24, 1993

“Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture… Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.”

“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.”

“It is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship.”

“Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution. If you don’t have any problems, you don’t get any seeds.”

“When every physical and mental resources is focused, one’s power to solve a problem multiplies tremendously.”

“The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have.”

“We tend to get what we expect.”
