Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

"When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too."

"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure."

"The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times."

"You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it's better to listen to what it has to say."

"When someone sees the same people every day, as had happened with him at the seminary, they wind up becoming a part of that person's life. And then they want the person to change. If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own."

"When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too."

"But if you believe yourself worthy of the thing you fought so hard to get, then you become an instrument of God, you help the Soul of the World, and you understand why you are here."

"You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it's better to listen to what it has to say."

"To realize one's destiny is a person's only real obligation and when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."

"Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure."

"But when he thought to complain about the burden of its weight, he remembered that, because he had the jacket, he had withstood the cold of the dawn.We have to be prepared for change, he thought, and he was grateful for the jacket's weight and warmth.The jacket had a purpose, and so did the boy."

"Isn't wine prohibited here?"the boy asked. "It's not what enters men's mouths that's evil,"said the alchemist. "It's what comes out of their mouths that is."

"It's true; life really is generous to those who pursue their Personal Legend."

"there is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earth."

"Because I don't live in either my past or my future.I'm interested only in the present"."

"Life doesn´t come with any guarantees. You have to risk it to get the biscuit."- The Alchemist, Paulo Cohelo -"

"If you start by promising what you don't even have yet, you'll lose your desire to work towards getting it."

"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."

"My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer."
