Paulo Coelho

Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks.

Paulo Coelho

Read. Forget everything you’ve been told about books and read.

Paulo Coelho

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

Paulo Coelho

Sadness does not last forever when we walk in the direction of that which we always desired.

Paulo Coelho

Say ‘no’ without guilt. Say ‘yes’ without fear.

Paulo Coelho

Seize every opportunity that life offers you because, when opportunities go, they take a long time to come back.

Paulo Coelho

Shine without guilt. Modesty was invented by the mediocres who think you should be the same as them.

Paulo Coelho

Sometimes it’s what you don’t say that counts.

Paulo Coelho

Sometimes life is very mean: a person can spend days, weeks, months and years without feeling new. Then, when a door opens – a positive avalanche pours in. One moment, you have nothing, the next, you have more than you can cope with.

Paulo Coelho

Sometimes we are angry, and we have the right to be angry, but that doesn’t give us the right to be cruel.
