Big Fish

There are two fishermen on opposite sides of a river. One is only catching small fish, while the other keeps catching big fish but continuously throws them back. The fisherman goes over to ask him why he's throwing back such big fish when he himself can only catch small ones. The other fisherman says, "My frying pan is too small for fish this big."

The largest portion of our life passes while we are doing ill, a goodly share while we are doing nothing, and the whole while we are doing that which is not to the purpose. What man can you show me who places any value on his time, who reckons the worth of each day, who understands that he is dying daily? For we are mistaken when we look forward to death; the major portion of death has already passed. Whatever years be behind us are in death’s hands.
–Seneca

Paulo Coelho

Don't live every day as if it were your last. Live every day as if it were your first.

"Impossible" is not a concrete fact. It's just an opinion.

Be creative. Remember that we only learnt how to fly when we stopped imitating birds.

There are moments when we say “yes” to others and in fact we are saying “no” to ourselves.

You don't need to explain your dreams. They belong to you.

If you only walk on sunny days you'll never reach your destination.

The warrior notes that the adversaries are there to test our persistence, our ability to make decisions. Adversaries are a blessing – because they force the warriors of light to fight for their dreams.

Many people are afraid to hope. They want to be prepared for failure.

Don't make important decisions in anger: you can always tell a person to go to hell tomorrow.

Let the beauty we love become what we do.

As I don't know about tomorrow, I never save the best for later.
