More From Norman Vincent Peale

They are inherently good - the bad reactions aren't basic. every human being is a child of god and has more good in him than evil - but circumstances and associates can step up the bad and reduce the good. i've got great faith in the essential fairness and decency - you may say goodness - of the human being.
Children Evil May
The only thing that really matters is that there be an action of goodness, love and intelligence in living. is goodness individual or collective, is love personal or impersonal, is intelligence yours, mine or somebody else? if it is yours or mine then it is not intelligence, or love, or goodness. if goodness is an affair of the individual or of the collective, according to one's particular preference or decision, then it is no longer goodness.
Life Decision Matter
Faith and daily life, faith and work-these are not separate things. they are one and the same. to think of them as separate-that faith is faith, and work is work-is theoretical faith. based on the recognition that work and faith are one and the same, we should put one hundred percent of our energy into our jobs and one hundred percent into our faith, too. when we resolve to do this, we enter the path of victory in life. faith means to show irrefutable proof of victory amid the realities of society and in our own daily lives.
Jobs Mean Reality
You can be good for the mere sake of goodness; you cannot be bad for the mere sake of badness. you can do a kind action when you are not feeling kind and when it gives you no pleasure, simply because kindness is right; but no one ever did a cruel action simply because cruelty is wrong - only because cruelty is pleasant or useful to him, in other words, badness cannot succeed even in being bad in the same way in which goodness is good. goodness is, so to speak, itself: badness is only spoiled goodness. and there must be something good first before it can be spoiled.
Kindness Giving Feelings
Goodness has no opposite. most of us consider goodness as the opposite of the bad or evil and so throughout history in any culture goodness has been considered the other face of that which is brutal. so man has always struggled against evil in order to be good; but goodness can never come into being if there is any form of violence or struggle.
Struggle Men Order
The world is full of people who have lost faith: politicians who have lost faith in politics, social workers who have lost faith in social work, schoolteachers who have lost faith in teaching and, for all i know, policemen who have lost faith in policing and poets who have lost faith in poetry. it's a condition of faith that it gets lost from time to time, or at least mislaid.

Similar Quotes
Creating the human race in his own image and continually keeping it in being, god inscribed in the humanity of man and woman the vocation... of love and communion. love is therefore the fundamental and innate vocation of every human being.
Faith Inspiration Love Is
Some find it easier to bend their knees than their minds. exciting exploration is preferred to plodding implementation; speculation seems more fun than consecration, and so is trying to soften the hard doctrines instead of submitting to them. worse still, by not obeying, these . . . lack real knowing. lacking real knowing, they cannot defend their faith and may become critics instead of defenders!
Faith Fun Real
My love ,she speaks like silence, without ideals or violence. she doesn't have to say she's faithful, yet she's true.
Silence Faithful Quality
It is pleasant to spend time with him, to lie close to his breast like the beloved disciple and to feel the infinite love present in his heart....how can we not feel a renewed need to spend time in spiritual converse, in silent adoration, in heartfelt love before christ present in the most holy sacrament?
