“The U. S. Constitution doesn’t guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself.” - Benjamin Franklin

“We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it’s our life or our possession and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and history of the world were written by the same hand.”

“It’s the principle that governs all things. In alchemy, it’s called the Soul of the World. When you want something with all your heart, that’s when you are closest to the Soul of the World. It’s always a positive force.”

“There is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it’s because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It’s your mission on earth.

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it.”

The Alchemist
