It's not what enters men's mouth that is evil," said the alchemist. It's what comes out of their mouths that is.
I consider myself an alchemist. An alchemist is basically a mystical chemist, right? And one of the great feats that alchemists used to do is they would take lead - just take a chunk of lead - and they could turn lead into gold.
You came so that you could learn about your dreams," said the old woman. "And dreams are the language of God. When he speaks in our language, I can interpret what he has said. But if he speaks in the language of the soul, it is only you who can understand.
The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.
I must have no fear of failure. It was my fear of failure that first kept me from attempting the Master Work.
We have achieved two of the three alchemists' dreams: We have transmuted the elements and learned to fly. Immortality is next.
If I could, I'd write a huge encyclopedia just about the words luck and coincidence
A king is no king without his people, but a people without their king would be lost as well.
The world only gets better because people risk something to make it better. Thanks Egyptians
Every blessing ignored becomes a curse.
But if you believe yourself worthy of the thing you fought so hard to get, then you become an instrument of God, you help the Soul of the World, and you understand why you are here.
God only rarely reveals the future. When he does so, it is for one reason: it's a future that was written so as to be altered.
If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it
Why don’t people’s hearts tell them to continue following their dreams?” the boy asked the alchemist. “Because that’s what makes a heart suffer most, and hearts don’t like to suffer." From then on, the boy understood his heart. He asked it, please, never to stop speaking to him. He asked that, when he wandered far from his dreams, his heart press him and sound the alarm. The boy swore that, every time he heard the alarm, he would heed its message.
I hold the view that the alchemist’s hope of conjuring out of matter the philosophical gold, or the panacea, or the wonderful stone, was only in part an illusion, an effect of projection; for the rest it corresponded to certain psychic facts that are of great importance in the psychology of the unconscious. As is shown by the texts and their symbolism, the alchemist projected what I have called the process of individuation into the phenomena of chemical change.
When we love, it is not necessary to understand what is happening outside, because everything happens inside us instead.
This is what we call love. When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's no need at all to understand what's happening, because everything happens within you.
The future belongs to God, and it is only he who reveals it, under extraordinary circumstances.
I have inside me the winds, the deserts, the oceans, the stars, and everything created in the universe. We were all made by the same hand, and we have the same soul.
We need to transmute the lead of personality into the gold of the Spirit. This work is only possible in the laboratory of the Alchemist.
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure. You've got to find the treasure, so that everything you have learned along the way can make sense.
So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.
I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.
