Victories and defeats form part of everyone's life - everyone, that is, except cowards, as you call them, because they never lose or win.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The only reason anyone would sell salt more cheaply than usual would be because he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect for the sweat and struggle of the man who laboured to produce it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I am going to die. But I am going to die in peace because I lived my life as intensely as I could.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho

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
The busiest people I have known in my life always have time enough to do everything. Those who do nothing are always tired and pay no attention to the little amount of work they are required to do. They complain constantly that the day is too short. The truth is, they are afraid to fight the good fight.
Paulo Coelho
Image
On some nights, he has nowhere to sleep, on others he suffers from insomnia. That's just how it is, thinks the warrior. I was the one who chose to walk this path.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Nothing wrong with appearing to be a fool, if what you are doing is intelligent.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Avoiding problems you need to face is avoiding the life you need to live.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Defeat is for the valiant. Only they will know the honor of losing and the joy of winning.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Everybody has to share something. This is one of the most important laws of the human condition, is the necessity to share. This is the task of the writer - but not only of a writer, of every human being - it is to share something that he or she has.
Paulo Coelho

So the Warrior fights the Good Fight and he helps others, even though he does not quite understand why.
Paulo Coelho
