Paulo Coelho

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.

Paulo Coelho

I made some mistakes, but I wasn’t a coward. I lived my life and did what I had to do.

Paulo Coelho

I must have no fear of failure. It was my fear of failure that first kept me from attempting the master work.

Paulo Coelho

I prefer to be crazy and happy rather than normal and bitter.

Paulo Coelho

I realized that you don’t have to jump through a series of complicated hoops to achieve a goal.

Paulo Coelho

I understand that suffering, when it cannot be avoided, is here to help me on my way to my dreams.

Paulo Coelho

If everybody loves you, something is wrong. Find at least one enemy to keep you alert.

Paulo Coelho

If I believe I will win, then victory will believe in me.

Paulo Coelho

If I had to give you one piece of advice, it would be this: don’t be intimidated by other people’s opinions.

Paulo Coelho

If I must be faithful to someone or something, I have, first of all, have to be faithful to myself.
