One of my favortie books is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho...I was recently reading my favorite parts from the book and thought I would share a few of it's inspiring quotes.
"And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have on meaning."
"The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better. Forget about the future, and live each day according to the teachings, confident that God loves his children. Each day, in itself, brings with it an eternity."
"The wise men understood that this natural world is only an image and a copy of paradise. The existence of this world is simply a guarantee that there exists a world that is perfect. God created the world so that, through its visible objects, men could understand his spiritual teachings and the marvels of this wisdom. That's what I mean by action."
"All people who are happy have God within them.
If you haven't read this book. You should got pick it up right now. It is amazing.
That is a really wonderful book. I think I'll read it again, I had forgotten a lot of those quotes.
