"This generation, which has suffered fully as much if not more heartache than people in preceding eras, needs to re-learn that which the wisest people of all time have known, namely, that there is no healing of the pain suffered by humanity except through the benign ministrations of faith."
- Norman Vincent Peale

"You can permit obstacles to control your mind to the point where they are uppermost and thus becoming the dominating factors in your thought pattern. By learning how to cast them from the mind, by refusing to become mentally subservient to them, and by channelling spiritual power through your thoughts, you can rise above obstacles which ordinarily might defeat you. You need be defeated only if you are willing to be."
- Norman Vincent Peale
