Believing absolutely everything that appears in print.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Dreams are the language of God.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I believe it is better to live a dream rather than to simply dream it. The dream is the start of something greater, something that impels us to make daring decisions. And it's true that the person who pursues a dream takes many risks. But the person who does not runs risks that are even greater.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Any man who, having planted a vineyard, has not yet reaped the benefits should do so at once, so that he does not die in the struggle and leave it for another to enjoy.
Paulo Coelho
Image
To heal our wounds, we need courage to face them.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Try to find pleasure in the speed that you're not used to. Changing the way you do routine things allows a new person to grow inside of you. But when all is said and done, you're the one who must decide how you handle it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Haven't you learned anything, not even with the approach of death? Stop thinking all the time that you're in the way, that you're bothering the person next to you. If people don't like it, they can complain. And if they don't have the courage to complain, that's their problem
Paulo Coelho
Image
The Superclass tries to promote its values. Ordinary people complain of divine injustice, they envy power, and it pains them to see others having fun. They don’t understand that no one is having fun, that everyone is worried and insecure, and that what the jewels, cars, and fat wallets conceal is a huge inferiority complex.
Paulo Coelho
Image
it's best to accept life as it really is and not as I imagined it to be
Paulo Coelho
Image
Before commencing battle, the Warrior of Light opens his heart and asks God to inspire him.
Paulo Coelho
Image
People learn, early in their lives, what is their reason for being. Maybe that's why they give up on it so early, too.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No one can learn to love by following a manual, and no one can learn to write by following a course. I'm not telling you to seek out other writers but to find people with different skills from yourself, because writing is no different from any other activity done with joy and enthusiasm.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Even if you slept with every man on Earth, my love will still survive.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You should paint those visions of paradise rather than just talking about them.
Paulo Coelho
Image
He is also wary of people who think they know the path.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Don't ask permission to be happy. Don't beg for forgiveness. Just do it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Personal growth has its price, and she was paying it without complaint.
Paulo Coelho
Image
May we understand that joy is not a sin, sacrifice is not a virtue.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You can't avoid pain, but you can choose to overcome it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We must struggle for our dreams, but when certain paths prove impossible, it would be best to save our energies in order to travel other roads.
Paulo Coelho
