Quote

There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them. But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there.

More quotes by Paulo Coelho

Image
We all harbour a great sadness in our soul
Paulo Coelho
Image
We all have an unknown ability, which will probably remain unknown forever. And yet that ability can become our ally. Since it’s impossible to measure that ability or give it an economic value, it’s never taken seriously.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A warrior balances solitude and dependence.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I walk every day, and I look at the mountains and the fields and the small city, and I say: 'Oh my God, what a blessing.' Then you realise it's important to put it in a context beyond this woman, this man, this city, this country, this universe.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Déjà vu is more than just that fleeting moment of surprise, instantly forgotten because we never bother with things that make no sense. It show that time doesn't pass. It's a leap into something we have already experienced and that is being repeated.
Paulo Coelho
Image
He also knows the power of word.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The light of love flows out of my soul, but it can go nowhere because it's blocked by pain. I could inhale and exhale every morning for the rest of my life, but that wouldn't solve anything.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When we boldly seek love, love reveals itself to us, and we end up attracting more love. If one person loves us, everybody loves us.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I was not encouraged to follow the career of a writer because my parents thought that I was going to starve to death. They thought nobody can make a living from being a writer in Brazil. They were not wrong.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Our dreams are our own, and only we can know the effort required to keep them alive.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Never cease doubting. When the doubts stop it is because you have stopped journeying.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The soil needs the seed and the seed needs the soil. The one only has meaning with the other. It is the same thing with human beings. When male knowledge joins with female transformation, then the great magical union is created, and its name is wisdom. Wisdom means both to know and to transform.
Paulo Coelho
Image
There is a huge difference between danger and fear.
Paulo Coelho
Image
From the moment we are born, people tell us that the world is like this and like that, this way, that way. It is natural that - for a certain period of time - we end up believing what we are told. But we must soon push these ideas aside and discover our own way of living reality.
Paulo Coelho
Image
it is only courage on the path itself that makes the path appear
Paulo Coelho
Image
Waking up each morning to a hysterical alarm clock on the bedside table.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Be careful! Never show your superiors that you are superior to them.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Life is too short for us to keep important words, for example, 'I love you', locked in our hearts.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I believe everything is one thing only. That said, there are some questions in my life that I don't know.. I've stopped asking. At the very beginning of my life, I wanted to have answers for everything. And now I respect the fact that I can't have answers for everything.
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
