Image
Walk firmly and with joy, without being afraid of stumbling. All your movements are being watched by your allies that will help you when necessary.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The journey towards the top of the mountain is always longer than you think. Don't fool yourself: the moment will come where what seemed to be close to you is in fact still very far away.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Sometimes it's what you don't say that counts.
Paulo Coelho
Image
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
Image
The two worst strategic mistakes to make are acting prematurely and letting an opportunity slip.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I need to write about love. I need to think and think and write about love-otherwise, my soul won’t survive.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Knowledge was always the power that kept the Universe in its place and the stars turning in their orbits.
Paulo Coelho
Image
But he keeps his heart free of any feelings of hatred.
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
The search for happiness is more important than the need for pain.
Paulo Coelho
Image
That is a question we cannot answer before, or even during, the trials. Only when we have overcome them do we understand why they were there.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I don't know if the books are making the world a much better place. I don't write with that objective. What I know is that I see my readers creating a critical mass so we can at least understand this world in a different way.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfil our destiny, but our fate is sealed.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change: Yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is.
Paulo Coelho
Image
God only rarely reveals the future. When he does so, it is for one reason: it's a future that was written so as to be altered.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The music could even penetrate his remote world, more distant than the moon itself it could even perform miracles.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If someone is capable of loving his partner without restrictions, unconditionally, then he is manifesting the love of God. If the love of God becomes manifest, he will love his neighbor. If he loves his neighbor, he will love himself. If he loves himself, then everything returns to its proper place.
Paulo Coelho

simple things are the most valuable and only wise people appreciate them.

Although anxiety is part of life, never let it control you.
