“Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.” ― Paulo Coelho

“No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn't know it.”

“A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires.”

“When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.”

“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.”

“Tears are words that need to be written.”
― Paulo Coelho

“Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart.” ― Paulo Coelho,

“The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.”

“There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them.
But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there.”

“Now that she had nothing to lose, she was free.”

“None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have Faith.”

“People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.”

The moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us. And to save us.”

“I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It's all a question of how I view my life.”

“People never learn anything by being told, they have to find out for themselves.”
― Paulo Coelho
