"...the simple fact of writing helps us to organize our thoughts and see more clearly what is in our surroundings. A paper and pen perform miracles---they alleviate pain, make dreams come true, and summon lost hope..." ~Paulo Coelho (MAKTUB)~

 Here are some of my favorite quotes about life…and everything. Love ‘em!

***Many were taken from “The Alchemist” and “Maktub“. Very helpful and inspiring quotes. Free download for MAKTUB available at http://paulocoelho.com ***

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it” - Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist)

“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting” - Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist)

“God’s decisions are always mysterious, but they are always in our favour” - Paulo Coelho (Maktub)

“Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars” - Henry Van Dyke

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain

 “Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood” - Helen Adams Keller

“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon

“We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world” - Helen Adams Keller

“Life doesn’t give you the people you want, it gives you the people you need to help you, to hurt you, to love you, to leave you, and to make you into the person you were meant to be” - Unknown

“I dont miss him, I just miss who I thought he was”

“Constant smiling despite the fact that you feel terrible is a great way to “trick” your mind. By smiling, the body sends signals to the mind that you are happy, even if you are not. Eventually the mind will accept the state of the body” - a simple neuro-linguistic programming by Eddie Cordano

“Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.” - Brian Tracy

“A friend is one who knows you, and loves you just the same.”

“Perhaps we’re too embarrassed to change or too frightened of the consequences of showing that we actually care. But why not risk it anyway? BEGIN TODAY! Carry out an act of kindness, with no expectation of reward or punishment. Safe in the knowledge that one day, someone somewhere might do the same for you.” -Princess Diana

“Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass” - Max Ehrmann (DESIDERATA)
