We are neither worse nor better than those who eye us critically.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Defeat exists but not suffering. A true warrior knows that when he loses a battle, he is improving the skill with which he wields a sword. He will be able to fight more skilfullly next time.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I think the big danger of madness is not madness itself, but the habit of madness. What I discovered during the time I spent in the asylum is that I could choose madness and spend my whole life without working, doing nothing, pretending to be mad. It was a very strong temptation.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The present moment, though, is outside of time, it’s Eternity. In India they use the word “karma” for lack of any better term. But it’s a concept that’s rarely given a proper explanation. It isn’t what you did in the past that will affect the present. It’s what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Have courage, be capable of loving.... Be happy in love. Be joyful in victory. Follow the dictates of your heart.

Paulo Coelho
Image
Life is a journey. How we travel is really up to us. We can just flow with the tide or follow our own dreams.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Suffering occurs when we want other people to love us in the way we imagine we want to be loved, and not in the way that love should manifest itself--free and untrammeled, guiding us with its force and driving us on.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Forget about shortcuts. Instead, enjoy the wonders of your path.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We forget that the world is what we imagine it to be. We stop being the sun and become, instead, the pool of water reflecting it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It is necessary to be humble in order to learn.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The true lover realizes that freedom is needed for loyalty to blossom.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You can only learn when you teach.
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
The soul of the world is nourished by people's Happiness.
Paulo Coelho
Image
So for the question I go to the mystery of it and say I don't know. I only know that I am alive and there is something that manifests in my life, that it is God and one day I am going to understand my life, probably in the day that I die, or afterwards. But I try to find good questions and not good answers.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Assuming, as you grow older, that you're the guardian of the world's wisdom, even if you haven't necessarily lived enough to know what's right and wrong.
Paulo Coelho
