The Alchemist

“I’m like everyone else—I see the world in terms of what I would like to see happen, not what actually does.”

He was feeling sorry for himself, and lamenting the fact that his life could have changed so suddenly and so drastically.

The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.’”

Like crickets, and like grasshoppers; like lizards and four-leaf clovers.

He never realized that people are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.

The Soul of the World is nourished by people’s happiness.

It’s what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what their Personal Legend is

And it ends up saying that everyone believes the world’s greatest lie.
