The Alchemist

 "It's this: that 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 world's greatest lie."


"At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their destiny."

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

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

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

"You must understand that love never keeps a man from pursuing his destiny. If he abandons that pursuit, it's because it wasn't true love... the love that speaks the Language of the World."




"If a person is living out his destiny, he knows everything he needs to know. There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure."


“When each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognise the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.”


“Every search begins with beginners luck and ends with the victor’s being severely tested.”


“When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision. “

“Courage is the quality most essential to understanding the Language of the World. “ 

 “It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”
