1 " There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them.But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there. "
― Paulo Coelho , The Fifth Mountain
2 " Although I have the colors, only the Lord can mix them with such harmony. "
3 " If you have a past with which you feel dissatisfied, then forget it, now. Imagine a new story for your life and believe in it. Focus only on the moments when you achieved what you desired, and that strength will help you to get what you want. "
4 " Man needs to choose, not just accept his destiny. "
5 " Sadness does not last forever when we walk in the direction of that which we always desired. "
6 " The act of living one's own destiny includes a series of stages that are far beyond our understanding, whose objective is always to... make us learn the lessons necessary to fulfill our own destiny. "
7 " The unavoidable has touched the life of every human being on the face of the earth. Some have rebounded, others have given up--but all of us have felt the wings of tragedy brushing against us. "
8 " Long since, the desert wind wiped away our footprints in the sand. But at every second of my existence, I remember what happened, and you still walk in my dreams and in my reality. Thank you for having crossed my path. "
9 " Stop thinking about life and choose to live it "
10 " Make whatever decision you wish but never forget one thing: all of you are much better than you believed. Take advantage of the chance that tragedy has given you; not everyone is capable of doing so "
11 " At this moment, many people have stopped living. They do not become angry, nor cry out; they merely wait for time to pass. They did not accept the challenges of life, so life no longer challenges them "
12 " This was freedom; to feel what the heart desired with no thought to the opinion of the rest... She was free, for love liberates. "
13 " All life battles teach us something, even those we lose "
14 " الإنصات صعب. ففي صلواتنا نحاول دائما أن نبوح بآثامنا ، ونطلب ما نود أن يحدث لنا. لكن الله يعرف كل هذا ، وأحيانا يطلب منا أن ننصت إلى ما يقوله لنا الكون ، وأن نتحلى بالصبر. "
15 " كل معركة في الحياة تعلمنا شيئا ما ، حتى المعارك التي نخسرها. وعندما تنضج ، ستكتشف أنك دافعت عن أكاذيب ، وخدعت نفسك ، وعانيت من أجل هراء. فإذا كنت محاربا جيدا لن تلوم نفسك على هذا ، لكنك لن تسمح بتكرار أخطائك. "
16 " All life's battles teach us something, even those we lose. When you grow up, you'll discover that you have defended lies, deceived yourself, or suffered foolishness. If you're a good warrior you will not blame yourself for this, but neither will you allow your mistakes to repeat themselves. "
17 " Life is made of our attitudes. And there are certain things that the gods oblige us to live through. Their reason for this does not matter, and there is no action we can take to make them pass us by. "
18 " ...and I discovered something: the meaning of my life was whatever I wanted it to be. "
19 " But no one can lose sight of what he desires. Even if there are moments when he believes the world and the others are stronger. The secret is this: do not surrender. "
20 " The Lord often has his prophets climb mountains to converse with Him. I always wondered why He did that, and now I know the answer: when we are on high, we can see everything else as small. Our glory and sadness lose their importance. Whatever we conquered or lost remains there below. From the heights of the mountain, you see how large the world is, and how wide its horizons. "
