Norman Vincent Peale Quotes on Belief & Faith (8 Quotes)


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

    There are two primary forces in this world, fear and faith. Fear can move you to destructiveness or sickness or failure. Only in rare instances will it motivate you to accomplishment. But faith is a greater force. Faith can drive itself into your consciousness and set you free from fear forever.

    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 isnt any situation so bad that it wont 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.

    Believe you are defeated, believe it long enough, and it is likely to become a fact.



    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.

    In every difficult situation is potential value. Believe this, then begin looking for it.

    Religious faith may very well be considered a science, for it responds invariably to certain formulae. Perform the technique of faith according to the laws which have been proved workable in human experience and you will always get a result of power.
