“Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.” ― Paulo Coelho

“When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive.”

“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.”

“Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.”

“Don't waste your time with explanations: people only hear what they want to hear.”

“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.”

“When I had nothing to lose, I had everything. When I stopped being who I am, I found myself.”
― Paulo Coelho,

“Every blessing ignored becomes a curse.” ― Paulo Coelho,

“When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too.”

“Be crazy! But learn how to be crazy without being the center of attention. Be brave enough to live different.”

“Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is you want. No one can hit their target with their eyes closed.”

“behind the mask of ice that people wear, there beats a heart of fire.”

“Why is patience so important?"
"Because it makes us pay attention.”

“We pretend to be strong because we are weak.”

“Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life.”

“Don't allow your mind to tell your heart what to do. The mind gives up easily”
― Paulo Coelho

A family stitched together with love seldom unravels. Letty Cottin Pogrebin

Annie Pratt bought her Singer in the 1920s. When the Germans bombed her hometown of Plymouth, England, during World War II, rather than run for shelter, Annie ran home to save her beloved sewing machine. She escaped with her machine in tow and sustained only a few burns on her hands.

The sewing machine sews what the scissors have cut asunder, plus whatever else comes in its path.

A tranquil woman can go on sewing longer than an angry man can go on fuming. George Bernard Shaw

Take your needle, my child, and work at your pattern; it will come out a rose by and by. Life is like that - one stitch at a time taken patiently and the pattern will come out all right like the embroidery.- Oliver Wendell Holmes

“You are what you believe yourself to be.” ― Paulo Coelho

“Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time.”

“I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.”

“Anyone who has lost something they thought was theirs forever finally comes to realise that nothing really belongs to them.”

“Anyone who loves in the expectation of being loved in return is wasting their time.”

“Your eyes show the strength of your soul.”
― Paulo Coehlo
