Paulo Coelho, author of The Alchemist and many more books, was born on this date in 1947. Here are some pearls of wisdom from him.
- You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.
- You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it.
- The more violent the storm, the quicker it passes.
- Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere.
- It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.
- The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.
- No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn't know it.
- When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too.
- A warrior of the light does not postpone making decisions… If his decision is correct, he will win the battle, even if it lasts longer than expected. If his decision is wrong, he will be defeated and he will have to start all over again- only this time with more wisdom.
- We humans have two great problems: the first is knowing when to begin; the second is knowing when to stop.
