Norman Vincent Peale

Do not be awe struck by other people and try to copy them. Nobody can be you as efficiently as you can.

Throw your heart over the fence and the rest will follow.

There is real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.

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.

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

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.

We struggle with the complexities and avoid the simplicities.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you put yourself into a condition conducive to your goal.
