Paul Coelho's shared Wisdom...

A bird sings because he has a song,
not because he has an answer.

---Paul Coelho's quote for the week.

You are protected. But if you don’t take risks, God will retreat and become only a subject of philosophical speculation.

For the Warrior of Light, there is no such thing as an impossible love.
(Manual of the Warrior of Light)

The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword.
( quoting Oscar Wilde in The Valkyries)
