Paulo Coelho Quotes

You're never without hope, because you're never without prayer.

Short on money, long on hope

When our forefathers put down roots in desolate places, the thing that allowed them to survive was that they had a faith to see them through the tough times.

Real faith is when you believe in something that you can't see.

It can be hard sometimes, and to turn it around like that, that's true faith.

Have a little faith. Don't give up.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
