"The life of inner peace, being harmonious and without stress, is the easiest type of existence." ― Norman Vincent Peale Topic(s): Peace More From Norman Vincent Peale "Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory." "Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy." "Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are." More In Peace "Some people suggest that the problem is the separation of powers. If you had a parliamentary system, the struggle for power would not result in such complex peace treaties that empower so many different people to pursue so many contradictory aims."― James Q. Wilson "Art is never finished, only abandoned."― Leonardo da Vinci "All the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911."― Lewis Black
