More quotes by Paulo Coelho

Image
He is now walking from his dream.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I have won important things for myself, but I'm going to destroy them, because I tell myself they have lost their meaning. I know that is not true. I know they are important, and that if I destroy them, I'll be destroying myself, as well.
Paulo Coelho
Image
There's no point sitting here, using words that mean nothing. Go and experiment. It's time you got out of here. Go and re-conquer your kingdom, which has grown corrupted by routine. Stop repeating the same lesson, because you won't learn anything new that way.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The happiness of one does not mean the unhappiness of the others.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The future belongs to God, and it is only he who reveals it, under extraordinary circumstances.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The extraordinary lies in the path of ordinary people.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The great blessing of life is the existence of tomorrows - and having dreams to realize.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Wearing a scrap of colored cloth around your neck, even though it serves no useful purpose, but which answers to the name of tie.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You can only learn when you teach.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Be like the fountain that overflows, not like the cistern that merely contains.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We must never stop dreaming. Dreams provide nourishment for the soul, just as a meal does for the body. Many times in our lives we see our dreams shattered and our desires frustrated, but we have to continue dreaming. If we don't, our soul dies, and agape cannot reach it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Defeat ends when we launch into another battle. Failure has no end: it is a lifetime choice.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The warrior knows that he is free to choose his desires, and he makes these decisions with courage, detachment, and - sometimes - with just a touch of madness.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The person who does not make a choice dies in the eyes of the Lord, even though he continues to breathe and to walk about the streets. For a man has to choose, therein lies his strength: in the power of his decisions.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A man has to choose. This is where lies his strength: in the power of his decisions. If you choose to follow the path of your dreams, commit yourself to it. Accept your path.
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
Moving slowly enables us to learn faster.
Paulo Coelho
Image
now that she realized she had been waiting for him—she did not like that.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When everything seems to be going well and your dream is almost within your gasp, that is when you must be more alert than ever.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better. -- The Alchemist
