I told you that your dream was a difficult one. It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary; only wise men are able to understand them.
Ever since your goal found out that you were traveling toward it, it has been running to meet you
We all have other halves, and when they're feeling bad, we get a little piece of the pain
Eat when it's time to eat. And move along when it's time to move along.
Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.
Timidity puts obstacles in your path, boldness eliminates them.
The beauty of truth: whether it is bad or good, it is liberating.
I'm proud of the scars in my soul. They remind me that I have an intense life.
Love your enemy. But don't forget he is not your friend
My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer, the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky. Tell your heart that the fear of suffering s 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.
Fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.
Love is what dreams are made of!
Courage is the first spiritual quality that you need to have.
Comparing is impoverishing your own experience
