More quotes by Paulo Coelho
We lose many things simply out of our fear of losing them.
Paulo Coelho
People no longer try to decipher the mystery of life but choose instead to be a part of it.
Paulo Coelho
We make a lot of detours, but we're always heading for the same destination
Paulo Coelho
Intelligent people discuss ideas. Fools discuss how people should behave.
Paulo Coelho
Evil had to manifest itself and fulfill its role, so that ultimately Good could prevail. [...] Evil needs to manifest itself, for them to understand the value of Good.
Paulo Coelho
We are here because we are made by God, we will return to God. So people who think that they are something, they are totally wrong. And this is the most beautiful thing in life, it is that we don't own anything. So, everything is ours in the sense that we have the world to explore and not things to carry, a burden to carry.
Paulo Coelho
All life's battles teach us something, even those we lose. When you grow up, you'll discover that you have defended lies, deceived yourself, or suffered foolishness. If you're a good warrior you will not blame yourself for this, but neither will you allow your mistakes to repeat themselves.
Paulo Coelho
They went to university because someone, at a time when universities seemed important, said that in order to rise in the world, you had to have a degree. And thus the world was deprived of some excellent gardeners, bakers, antique dealers, sculptors, and writers.
Paulo Coelho
Live the life you always wanted to live. Avoid criticizing others and concentrate on fulfilling your dreams.
Paulo Coelho
We never lose our loved ones. The accompany us they don't disappear from our lives. We are merely in different rooms.
Paulo Coelho
Most of the times, aggression will drive your enemy to do something that you are trying to prevent.
Paulo Coelho
The enemy is only a pretext to test our strength
Paulo Coelho
fate is strange.. almost no one i know married the first love of their lives. but for those who did are always telling me that they missed soemthing important, that they didn’t experience all that they might have.. - by the river piedra i sat down and wept
Paulo Coelho
Perhaps love makes us grow old before our time and makes us young again when youth has passed.
Paulo Coelho
The wise men understood that this natural world is only an image and a copy of paradise. The existence of this world is simply a guarantee that there exists a world that is perfect. God created the world so that, through its visible objects, men could understand his spiritual teachings and the marvels of his wisdom.
Paulo Coelho
When faced with a loss, it is no use trying to recover what has gone. On the other hand, a great space has been opened up in your life - there it lies, empty, waiting to be filled with something new. At the moment of one's loss, contradictory as this might seem, one is being given a large slice of freedom.
Paulo Coelho
If something happens once, it may never happen again. If it happens twice it most likely will keep happening.
Paulo Coelho
Talent is a universal gift, but it takes a lot of courage to use it. Don't be afraid to be the best.
Paulo Coelho
No one should feel afraid of the unknown. Because everyone is capable of achieving everything he wants and needs.
Paulo Coelho
You're mistaken, Father. You were in paradise, but you didn't recognize it. It's the same with most people in this world they seek suffering in the most joyous of places because they think they are unworthy of happiness.
Paulo Coelho
