Believing that power is much more important than money and that money is much more important than happiness.
Paulo CoelhoWhen someone wants something then they should be aware that they are taking a risk. But this is precisely what makes life interesting.
Paulo CoelhoThere was a language in the world that everyone understood, a language the boy had used throughout the time that he was trying to improve things at the shop.

Paulo CoelhoPlaying the part of a charitable soul was only for those who were afraid of taking a stand in life. It is always far easier to have faith in your own goodness than to confront others and fight for your rights. It is always easier to hear an insult and not retaliate than have the courage to fight back against someone stronger than yourself; we can always say we're not hurt by the stones others throw at us, and it's only at night - when we're alone and our wife or our husband or our school friend is asleep - that we can silently grieve over our own cowardice.
