God Quote by Paulo Coelho — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.”

“You don't seem mad at all,' she said.”

“And what went wrong when other alchemists tried to make gold and were unable to do so?”

“When we venture in that unfamiliar sea, we trust blindly in those who guide us, believing that they know more than we do.”

“Travel is never a matter of money but of courage”

“Once a problem is solved, its simplicity is amazing.”

“Why do some persons 'find' God in a way that others do not? Why does God manifest His Presence to some and let multitudes of others struggle along in the half-light of imperfect Christian experience? Of course the will of God is the same for all. He has no favorites within His household. All He has ever done for any of His children He will do for all of His children. The difference lies not with God but with us.”

“If anybody didn't have a messiah complex, it was Jesus”

“Do Something!”

“There is no good thing like knowing God.”

“There is a beauty in paradox when it comes to talking about things of ultimate concern. Paradox works against our tendency to stay superficial in our faith, or to rest on easy answers or categorical thinking. It breaks apart our categories by showing the inadequacy of them and by pointing to a reality larger than us, the reality of gloria, of light, of beyond-the-beyond. I like to call it paradoxology—the glory of paradox, paradox-doxology—which takes us somewhere we wouldn’t be capable of going if we thought we had everything all wrapped up, if we thought we had attained full comprehension. The commitment to embracing the paradox and resisting the impulse to categorize people (ourselves included) is one of the ways we follow Jesus into that larger mysterious reality of light and love.”
