Paulo Coelho Quote #8
¿Por qué el Amor es más importante que la fe?
Porque la Fe no es más que un camino que nos conduce al Amor más grande.
¿ Por qué el Amor es más importante que la Caridad?
Porque la Caridad no es más que una de las manifestaciones del Amor.Y el todo es siempre más importante que la parte.Además la Caridad no es más que uno de los muchos caminos que el Amor utiliza para que el hombre se una a su prójimo.
Y todos sabemos que hay por ahí mucha caridad sin Amor.Paulo Coelho Quote #9
4 the first time, I will avoid anything that makes me suffer, because suffering is not a virtue.. I will not complain about life, saying, Everything is always the same and I have nothin' 2 change it. Because I'm livin' this day as if it were my first and, while it lasts, I will discover things that I didn't even know were there.
Paulo Coelho Quote #10
A divided kingdom cannot defend itself from its adversaries. A divided person cannot face life in a dignified way.
Paulo Coelho Quote #11
A dream is always risky, for there is a price to pay.
Paulo Coelho Quote #12
A lot of people think something is right, and so that thing becomes right.
Paulo Coelho Quote #13
A man spent hours watching a butterfly struggling to emerge from its cocoon. It managed to make a small hole, but its body was too large to get through it. After a long struggle, it appeared to be exhausted and remained absolutely still.
The man decided to help the butterfly and, with a pair of scissors, he cut open the cocoon, thus releasing the butterfly. However, the butterfly’s body was very small and wrinkled and its wings were all crumpled.
The man continued to watch, hoping that, at any moment, the butterfly would open its wings and fly away. Nothing happened; in fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its brief life dragging around its shrunken body and shrivelled wings, incapable of flight.
What the man – out of kindness and his eagerness to help – had failed to understand was that the tight cocoon and the efforts that the butterfly had to make in order to squeeze out of that tiny hole were Nature’s way of training the butterfly and of strengthening its wings.
Sometimes, a little extra effort is precisely what prepares us for the next obstacle to be faced. Anyone who refuses to make that effort, or gets the wrong sort of help, is left unprepared to fight the next battle and never manages to fly off to their destiny.Paulo Coelho Quote #14
A person who goes in search of God is wasting his time. He can walk a thousand roads and join many religions and sects–but he'll never find God that way. God is here, right now, at our side. We can see Him in this mist, in the ground we're walking on, even in my shoes. His angels keep watch while we sleep and help us in our work. In order to find God, you have only to look around. But meeting Him is not easy. The more God asks us to participate in His
mysteries, the more disoriented we become, because He asks us constantly to
follow our dreams and our hearts. And that's difficult to do when we're used to living in a different way. Finally we discover, to our surprise, that God wants us to be happy, because He is the father.Paulo Coelho Quote #15
A prayer couched in the words of the soul, is far more powerful than any ritual.
Paulo Coelho Quote #16
A responsible Warrior is not someone who takes the weight of the world on his shoulders, but someone who has learned to deal with the challenges of the moment.
Paulo Coelho Quote #17
A rose dreams of enjoying the company of bees, but none appears. The sun asks:
“Aren’t you tired of waiting?”
“Yes,” answers the rose, “but if I close my petals, I will wither and die.Paulo Coelho Quote #18
A shepherd may like to travel, but he should never forget his sheep.
Paulo Coelho Quote #19
A threat leads to nothing if it is not accepted. In fighting the good fight, you should never forget that. Just as you should never forget that both attacking and fleeing are part of the fight. What isn't a part of the fight is becoming paralyzed by fear.
Paulo Coelho Quote #20
A Warrior of Light does not postpone making decisions.
Paulo Coelho Quote #21
A Warrior of Light values a child's eyes because they are able to look at the world without bitterness. When he wants to find out if the person beside him is worthy of his trust, he tries to see him as a child would
Paulo Coelho Quote #22
A Warrior of the Light does not waste his time listening to provocations; he has a destiny to fulfill.
Paulo Coelho Quote #23
A warrior of the Light is never in a hurry.
Time works in his favor; he learns to master his impatience and avoids acting without thinking.Paulo Coelho Quote #24
A Warrior of the Light makes decisions. His soul is as free as the clouds in the sky, but he is committed to his dream. On his freely chosen path, he often has to get up earlier than he would like, speak to people from whom he learns nothing, make certain sacrifices.
His friends say: “You’re not free.”
The Warrior is free. But he knows that an open oven bakes no bread.Paulo Coelho Quote #25
Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.
Paulo Coelho Quote #26
After all, what is happiness? Love, they tell me. But love doesn't bring and never has brought happiness. On the contrary, it's a constant state of anxiety, a battlefield; it's sleepless nights, asking ourselves all the time if we're doing the right thing. Real love is composed of ecstasy and agony.
Paulo Coelho Quote #27
After weeks on the road, listening to a language you don’t understand, using a currency whose value you don’t comprehend, walking down streets you’ve never walked down before, you discover that your old “I,” along with everything you ever learned, is absolutely no use at all in the face of those new challenges, and you begin to realize that buried deep in your unconscious mind there is someone much more interesting and adventurous and more open to the world and to new experiences.
Paulo Coelho Quote #28
All love stories have much in common. I wen through the same thing at one point in my life. But that's not what I remember. What I remember is that love returned in the form of another man, new hopes, and new dreams.
Paulo Coelho Quote #29
All of us have had this experience. At some point, we have each said through our tears, “I’m suffering for a love that’s not worth it.” We suffer because we feel we are giving more than we receive. We suffer because our love is going unrecognized. We suffer because we are unable to impose our own rules.
But ultimately there is no good reason for our suffering, for in every love lies the seed of our growth. The more we love, the closer we come to spiritual experience. Those who are truly enlightened, those whose souls are illuminated by love, have been able to overcome all of the inhibitions and preconceptions of their era. They have been able to sing, to laugh, and to pray out loud; they have danced and shared what Saint Paul called “the madness of saintliness.” They have been joyful—because those who love conquer the world and have no fear of loss. True love is an act of total surrender.Paulo Coelho Quote #30
All religions lead to the same God, and all deserve the same respect. Anyone who chooses a religion is also choosing a collective way for worshipping and sharing the mysteries. Nevertheless, that person is the only one responsible for his or her actions along the way and has no right to shift responsibility for any personal decisions on to that religion.
