Beware of making a woman cry. God is counting her tears.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Omens are a language, it's the alphabet we develop to speak to the world's soul, or the universe's, or God's, whatever name you want to give it. Like an alphabet, it is individual, you only learn it by making mistakes, and that keeps you from globalizing the spiritual quest.
Paulo Coelho

You had to take risks, follow some paths and abandon others.
Paulo Coelho

Remember that you are a manifestation of the absolute, and do only those things in your life that are worth the effort. Only those who do that will understand the great transformations that are yet to be seen.
Paulo Coelho
Image
To succeed in life, you must have the courage to be hated.

One of Love's qualities--namely, Forgiveness.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Fortunate are those who take the first step. Someday people will realize that men and women are capable of speaking the language of the angels - that all of us are possessed of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and that we can perform miracles, cure, prophesy, and understand.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because that no longer fits your life. Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust. Stop being who you were, and change into who you are.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It was shepherds who were the first to recognize a king that the rest of the world refused to acknowledge.
Paulo Coelho
