More quotes by Paulo Coelho
The River adapts itself to whatever route prove possible, but the river never forgets its one objective: the sea. So fragile at its source, it gradually gathers the strength of the other rivers in encounters. And, after a certain point, its power is absolute.
Paulo Coelho
Success is falling down 7 times but getting up 8!
Paulo Coelho
Loneliness, when accepted, becomes a gift that will lead us to find a purpose in life.
Paulo Coelho
Don't say maybe if you want to say no.
Paulo Coelho
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
I fell asleep and dreamed that life was only Happiness. I woke and discovered that life was Duty. I did my Duty and discovered that life was Happiness.
Paulo Coelho
How can we be so arrogant? The planet is, was, and always will be stronger than us. We can't destroy it if we overstep the mark, the planet will simply erase us from its surface and carry on existing. Why don't they start talking about not letting the planet destroy us?
Paulo Coelho
Believing that other people are always better than you-better-looking, more capable, richer, more intelligent-and that it's very dangerous to step outside your own limits, so it's best to do nothing.
Paulo Coelho
You're mistaken, Father. You were in paradise, but you didn't recognize it. It's the same with most people in this world they seek suffering in the most joyous of places because they think they are unworthy of happiness.
Paulo Coelho
A boat is safe in the harbor. But this is not the purpose of a boat.
Paulo Coelho
In real life, love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire.
Paulo Coelho
We assume, falsely, that how we feel now is how we will feel in the future
Paulo Coelho
Love doesn't need to be understood, it needs to be demonstrated
Paulo Coelho
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
Of course, to have money is just great because you can do what you think is important to you. I always was a rich person because money's not related to happiness.
Paulo Coelho
What is a personal calling? It is God's blessing, it is the path that God chose for you here on Earth. Whenever we do something that fills us with enthusiasm, we are following our legend. However, we don't all have the courage to confront our own dream.
Paulo Coelho
The warrior knows that the most important words in all languages are the small words. Yes. Love. God. They are words that are easy enough to say and which fill vast empty spaces.
Paulo Coelho
Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure. You've got to find the treasure, so that everything you have learned along the way can make sense.
Paulo Coelho
A Warrior knows that everything a person does has enduring consequences.
Paulo Coelho
In the intervals between battles, the Warrior rests.
Paulo Coelho
