Uplifting quotes...by Dr Norman Vincent Peale.

I read his book when I arrived in Canada at 19 years old, "The Power of Positive Thinking". It is very profound if anyone wants to buy it on line. It certainly changed my life.

Anyhow, I have three and a half pages of his famous quotes in front of me and will post a new one everyday until they have been used up.

Please feel free to add your own uplifting quotes.



"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars"

Quote for 31st December. Happy New Year all....

“Stand up to an obstacle. Just stand up to it, that's all, and don't give way under it, and it will finally break. You will break it. Something has to break, and it won't be you, it will be the obstacle.”

Quote for 1st January 2017. Happy New Year.!!

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

Quote for 2nd January.

“Let nothing trouble you let nothing worry you everything passes away expect God. God alone is sufficient”

let he who pretends to know nothing be caught out fine style....

Quote for 3rd January.

“If you want a quality, act as if you already have it. If you want to be courageous, act as if you were - and as you act and persevere in acting, so you tend to become.”

Quote for 4th January.

“Enthusiasm spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.”

Not a quote as such, more a story.

My dwarf girlfriend went to work angry with me this morning because I was taking the mickey out of her size.

I'm going to make it up to her tonight. I am away to buy a  good bottle of wine, and buy her the latest box set of her favourite show.

Am also going to order her favourite Indian takeaway for tea, then run upstairs and run her a nice, hot sink.

No. It's the River Ebro, Ktyten!

D'you know what? I didn't realise I'd gone bald until I saw that picture!!

And to continue

Quote for 5th January.

“Optimism, when applied to your life, develops strength and peace within you.”

Quote for 6th January.

“The way to happiness: keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Fill your life with love. Scatter sunshine. Forget self, think of others. Do as you would be done by. Try this for a week and you will be surprised.”

Quote for 7th January.

“Remember that "Help us grow this grass" is a far more effective sign than "Keep off the grass".”

Quote for 8th January.

“Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. So practice happy thinking every day. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast."

Quote for 9th January.

“Deep within the individual is a vast reservoir of untapped power awaiting to be used. no person can have the use of all this potential until he learns to know his or her own self. the trouble with many people is that they got through life thinking and writing themselves off as ordinary commonplace persons. having no proper belief in themselves they live aimless and erratic lives largely because they never realise what their lives really can be or what they can become”

”Nobody can make you to feel inferior without your consent.”
