Life has many ways of testing a person's will, either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen all at once.

As a teenager, Coelho wanted to become a writer. Upon telling his mother this, she responded, "My dear, your father is an engineer. He's a logical, reasonable man with a very clear vision of the world. Do you actually know what it means to be a writer?" At 17, Coelho's introversion and opposition to following a traditional path led to his parents committing him to a mental institution from which he escaped three times before being released at the age of 2
You want to be successful, you must respect one rule: never lie to yourself.
Finding one important thing in our life doesn’t mean we have to give up all the other important things.
One day or day one. You decide
Be ready to pay the price of your dreams. Free cheese can only be found in a mousetrap.
We may not be winning, but this doesn't mean we are losing.
Many people have a clear idea on how we should live our lives, but none about his or her own.
There are over 7.000.000.000 people on this planet. Why are you allowing one of them to ruin your life?
Don't kill time. Because time is killing you.
Have you ever wondered which hurts the most: saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing, and wishing you had?
Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.
Don't put yourself down just to avoid criticism, to please others, or to show your "kindness." The world needs light, not mediocrity.
Remember: sometimes the person we think will hurt us and make us fall is instead one of the few who will help us to get up.
When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place.
If you lost something/someone but you found yourself YOU WON
The cup of suffering is overflowing everywhere. So please don't transform your unhappiness into aggressiveness.
There comes a point in your life when you realize what really matters, what never did, and what always will.
Never cut what can be untied.
Never wipe your tears if you still wanna cry never settle for an answer if you still want to know.
Better an 'ooops!' than a 'what if...'
