"Four things for success: work and pray, think and believe." ― Norman Vincent Peale Topic(s): Success More From Norman Vincent Peale "Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all." "Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory." "Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven’t half the strength you think they have." More In Success "Instead of this confusion, we need the unifying force of an official language, English, which is the language of success in America."― Ernest Istook "He has achieved success who has worked well, laughed often, and loved much."― Elbert Hubbard "In this time of budget cuts, we cannot forget that basic science is a building block for scientific innovation and economic growth in the information age."― Tim Bishop
