Paulo Coelho

Thats because, like everyone else on the planet, you believed that time would teach you to grow closer to God. But time doesnt teach; it merely brings us a sense of weariness and of growing older.

No matter how you are feeling, get up every morning and prepare to let your light shine forth.

Find someone who makes you smile, because it only takes a smile to make a day better

You were my hope during my days of loneliness, my anxiety during moments of doubt, my certainty during moments of faith.

The eyes are the mirror of the soul and reflect everything that seems to be hidden; and like a mirror, they also reflect the person looking into them.

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.

What is success? It is being able to go to bed each night with your soul at peace

We will always meet rivals in everything we do, but the most dangerous are those we believe to be our friends.

When everything seems to be going well and your dream is almost within your gasp, that is when you must be more alert than ever.

The greatest gift God gave us is the power to make decisions.

Love lasts because it changes and not because it stays the same and never faces any challenges.

Elegance is accepted and admired because it makes no effort to be elegant.

Elegance is not an outer quality, but a part of the soul that is visible to others.

Love accepts its companion unconditionally and allow each to grow in his or her own way.

Love is an act of faith in another person, not an act of surrender.

Respect those who grew up and learned alongside you. Respect those who taught you.

With every farewell comes a hidden hope.

Love is an act of faith, not an exchange. Contradictions are what make love grow. Conflicts are what allow love to remain by our side.

No one can go back, but everyone can go forward.

If you are never alone you cannot know yourself. And if you do not know yourself, you will begin to fear the void.

Dreaming carries no risks. The dangerous thing is trying to transform your dreams into reality.
