Norman Vincent Peale Quotes

Do not despair. In every defeat are found the seeds of victory.

No matter what you're going through, there's a light at the end of the tunnel and it may seem hard to get to it but you can do it and just keep working towards it and you'll find the positive side of things.

In times of defeat, we never know how close we are to victory. In every event of failure, God has planted a seed of success.

Failure isn't really an option because, as my grandmother used to say, "Nothing beats a failure but a try."

Though we live in a failing world, we have not been sent here to fail.

In a time of darkness, you don't curse the darkness, you light a candle.

Success is never ending, failure is never final.

If you lose all hope, you can always find it again.

...you have to use your failures as stepping stones to success. You have to maintain a fine balance between hope and despair. In the end it’s all a question of balance.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

You'll never convince me there is a hopeless situation or there is any finality in any success or any failure.

Antwone's story was a story of hope and that's what appealed to me. I needed hope myself at that time. I think all actors give up at some time and think they're never going to make it.

Some actors couldn't figure out how to withstand the constant rejection. They couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Some defeats are only installments to victory.

'Try Again' - every time I hear that song, it just brings a smile to your face. When you're feeling like crap, and you hear, 'Dust yourself off and try again,' it kind of just puts you in a different mindset, 100 percent.

Man is not made for defeat.

Hope is the last thing a person does before they are defeated.

If you aren't a loser, you fight; you continue to fight, believe.

We have all lost before and we will win again.

A lot of people have their big dreams and get knocked down and don't have things go their way. And you never give up hope, and you really just hold on to it. Hard work and perserverance. You just keep getting up and getting up, and then you get that breakthrough.

My story is one of ups and downs. It's made up of tastes of success and a lot more rejection.

No matter how bad things get, eventually the sun is going to shine. If you just keep at it, pursuing your goals, eventually good things happen to decent people. For a person who is set on his goals, good things will happen. Everyone deals with adversity, it's how you bounce back from it.

I don't think something is a failure if you put your all into it. I'm a big fan of the saying, "Nothing beats a failure but a try."

No man is beaten until his hope is annihilated, his confidence gone, As long as a man faces life hopefully, confidently, triumphantly, he is not a failure; he is not beaten until he turns his back on life.

Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win.
