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

“Nothing in this world happens by chance.”

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

“Life moves very fast. It rushes from Heaven to Hell in a matter of seconds.”

“I'm not a body with a soul, I'm a soul that has a visible part called the body.”

“Ever since time began, people have recognized their true Love by the light in their eyes.”

“Don’t be intimidated by other people’s opinions. Only mediocrity is sure of itself, so take risks and do what you really want to do.”

“In examinations the foolish ask questions that the wise cannot answer.”

“Accept the past as the past and realize that each new day you are a new person who doesn’t need to carry old baggage into the new day with you. It’s amazing how many people ruin the beauty of today with the sorrows of yesterday. Yesterday doesn’t exist anymore! For example, if ever I feel foolish or guilty about something I’ve done, I learn from it and attempt to do better the next time. Shame or guilt serves no one. Such feelings actually keep us down, often lowering the vibrations of those around us, as well. Living in the present moment is the recurring baptism of the soul, forever purifying every new day with a new you.”

“Expectation has brought me disappointment. Disappointment has brought me wisdom. Acceptance, gratitude and appreciation have brought me joy and fulfilment.”

“The mind builds walls. The heart, when allowed, builds windows.”

“The political problem of mankind is to combine three things: economic efficiency, social justice and individual liberty.”
