Richard Bach
Image
Whatever We Hold in Thought Comes True in Our Experience Like Attracts Like we experiment with the Law of Changing Appearances, to make our outer world reflect our inner.
Richard Bach
Image
Whatever it is that calls us, that's our path. And as we walk that path, we have a chance to shine forth who we are. It affects other people around us.
Richard Bach

Not being known doesn't stop the truth from being true.
Richard Bach
Image
I’m here not because I am supposed to be here, or because I’m trapped here, but because I’d rather be with you than anywhere else in the world.
Richard Bach
Image
Silly ideas, worth the admission price in smiles, but they're true. Is high-energy physics interesting because it's true or because it's crazy?
Richard Bach
Image
I relax my body completely, relax my mind completely, and then imagine myself at a level where anything can happen.
Richard Bach
Image
By your choice dwell you now in the world which you have created. What you hold in your heart shall be true, and what you most admire, that shall you become.
Richard Bach
Image
Navigate by the same star, unwilling to change, and you find yourself not only off-course but lost.
Richard Bach
