Some of the quotes are:
- “When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”
- “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”
- “The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.”
- “The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.”
- “Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.”
- “Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.”
- “It’s this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what’s
happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That’s the world’s
greatest lie.” - The boy didn’t know what a person’s “Personal Legend” was.
“It’s what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are
young, knows what their Personal Legend is.
“At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible.
They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see
happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to
convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their Personal
Legend.” - When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to
achieve it. - “We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it’s our life or our
possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our
life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand.” - “It’s not what enters men’s mouths that’s evil,” said the alchemist. “It’s what
comes out of their mouths that is.” - “it’s because I’m the heart of a person, and people’s hearts are that way. People
are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel that they
don’t deserve them, or that they’ll be unable to achieve them. We, their hearts,
become fearful just thinking of loved ones who go away forever, or of moments
that could have been good but weren’t, or of treasures that might have been
found but were forever hidden in the sands. Because, when these things happen,
we suffer terribly.” - “Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.
And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because
every second of the search is a second’s encounter with God and with eternity.” - “When you possess great treasures within you, and try to tell others of them, seldom are you believed.”
- “Then you’ll die in the midst of trying to realize your Personal Legend.
That’s a lot better than dying like millions of other people, who never even knew
what their Personal Legends were”. - ‘Everything that happens once can never happen again.
But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time.’
