Paulo Coelho
Image
Make each day truly new, dressing it with the blessings of heaven, bathing it in wisdom and love and putting yourself under the protection of Mother Nature. Learn from the wise, from the sacred books, but do not forget that every mountain, river, plant or tree also has something to teach.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Dreamers can't be tamed.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Choose the mountain you want to climb: don't pay attention to what other people say, such as that one's more beautiful or this one's easier. You'll be spending lots of energy and enthusiasm to reach your objective, so you're the only one responsible and you should be sure of what you're doing.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Loneliness is the worst of all tortures, the worst of all sufferings.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I will be capable of loving, regardless of whether I am loved in return, Of giving, when I have nothing, Of working happily, even in the midst of difficulties, Of holding out my hand, even when utterly alone and abandoned, Of drying my tears, even while I weep, Of believing, even when no one believes in me.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We must eat three meals a day, even if we're not hungry, and when we fail to fit the current ideal of beauty we must fast, even if we're starving.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Choosing one path means abandoning others - if you try to follow every possible path you will end up following none.
