Learning from Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

...at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the worlds greatest lie.

There is a force that wants you to realize your destiny , it whets your appetite with a taste of success.

The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.

When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it...

It’s a force that appears to be negative, but actually shows you how to realize your destiny. It prepares your spirit and your will, because there is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, its because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. Its your mission on earth.

God has prepared a path for everyone to follow. You just have to read the omens that he left for you.

Beauty is the great seducer of men.

People need not to fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want.

We are afraid of losing what we have, wheteher it,s our life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand.

One always had something that the other needed – as if everything were indeed written by one hand.

If you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better. Forget about the future, and live each day according to the teachings, confident that God loves his children Each day, in itself, brings with it an eternity.

God only rarely reveals the future. When he does so, it is for one reason: it's a future that was written so as to be altered.

When something is written, there is no way to change it.

Courage is the quality most essential to underatanding the Language of the World.

It's not what enters men's mouths that's evil, it's what comes out of their mouths that is.

One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving

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.

Every search begins with beginner’s luck and ends with the victor’s being severely tested.

Your eyes show the strength of your soul.

Anyone who interferes with the destiny of another thing never will discover his own.

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

Usually the threat of death makes people a lot more aware of their lives.
