Each human being was given two qualities: power and the gift. Power directs us towards our destiny the gift obliges us to share with others what is best in us.

When I asked you if you wanted to, I was not testing your courage. I was testing your wisdom.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Sometimes, you get no second chance and that its best to accept the gifts the world offers you.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Every Warrior of the Light has suffered for the most trivial of reasons.
Paulo Coelho
Image
In a world where everyone struggles to survive whatever the cost, how could one judge those people who decide to die? No one can judge. Each person knows the extent of their own suffering or the total absence of meaning in their lives.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If you want to be successful, you must respect one rule. Never lie to yourself.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image
And so I am this pilgrim - if I can somehow answer your question - who's constantly amazed by this journey. Who is learning a new thing every single day. But who's not accumulating knowledge, because then it becomes a very heavy burden in your back. I am this person who is proud to be a pilgrim, and who's trying to honor his journey.
Paulo Coelho
Image

Paulo Coelho
Image
Where there is loyalty, weapons are of no use.
Paulo Coelho
Image
All life's battles teach us something, even those we lose. When you grow up, you'll discover that you have defended lies, deceived yourself, or suffered foolishness. If you're a good warrior you will not blame yourself for this, but neither will you allow your mistakes to repeat themselves.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Choosing one path means abandoning others - if you try to follow every possible path you will end up following none.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The lake was silent for some time. Finally, it said: I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus was beautiful. I weep because, each time he knelt beside my banks, I could see, in the depths of his eyes, my own beauty reflected.
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
The happier people can be, the unhappier they are.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When you must choose a new path, do not bring old experiences with you. Those who strike out afresh, but who attempt to retain a little of the old life, end up torn apart by their own memories.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I'm not worried about tomorrow, because God is there already, waiting for me.
Paulo Coelho
