"... like Santiago the shepherd boy, we all need to be aware of our personal calling. What is a personal calling? It is a God's blessing, it is the path that God chose for you here on Earth. Whenever we do something that fills us with enthusiasm, we are following our legend...."
"...'Well, there is only one piece of advice I can give you,' said the wisest of wise men. 'The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon'."
"There is only one way to learn," the alchemist answered. "It's through action. Everything you need to know you have learned through your journey..."
"That night, the boy slept deeply, and, when he awoke, his heart began to tell him things that came from the Soul of the World. It is said that all people who are happy have God within them. And that happiness could be found in a grain of sand from the desert, as the alchemist had said...."Everyone on earth has a treasure that awaits him," his heart said. We, people's hearts, seldom say much about those treasures, because people no longer want to go in search of them. We speak of them only to children. Later, we simply let life proceed, in its own direction, toward its own fate. But, unfortunately, very few follow the path laid out for them - the path to their Personal Legends, and to happiness. Most people see the world as a threatening place, and, because they do so, the world turns out, indeed, to be a threatening place..."
"Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time."
"Where your treasure is, there also will be your heart"
