Most gulls don't bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight - how to get from shore to food and back again
Richard Bach
Image
One of the great cosmic laws, I think, is that whatever we hold in our thought will come true in our experience. When we hold something, anything, in our thought, then somehow coincidence leads us in the direction that we've been wishing to lead ourselves.
Richard Bach
Image
Sometimes when learning comes before experience It doesn't make sense right away.
Richard Bach
Image
Your life is a treasure and you are so much more than you know.
Richard Bach
Image
Just because somebody drops in on you from another dimension, don't assume they're wiser than you about anything at all, or that they can do anything better than you can do yourself. Discarnate or mortal, what matters about people is what they know.
Richard Bach

Part of us is always the observer, and no matter what, it observes. It watches us. It does not care if we are happy or unhappy, if we are sick or well, if we live or die. It’s only job is to sit there on our shoulder and pass judgment on whether we are worthwhile human beings.
Richard Bach

Richard Bach
Image
Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, teachers.
Richard Bach
Image
With every decision that anyone makes, the world changes. The decision that we give our consent to is the one that remains in our consciousness, but the one that we didn't make-that alternate world goes on in its own direction. So there's uncountable numbers of alternate us-es.
Richard Bach
Image
My airplane is quiet, and for a moment still an alien, still a stranger to the ground, I am home.
Richard Bach
Image
You seek problems because you need their gifts.
Richard Bach
Image
The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.
Richard Bach
Image
Within each of us lies the power of our consent to health and sickness, to riches and poverty, to freedom and to slavery. It is we who control these, and not another.
Richard Bach
Image
You teach best that which you need most to learn.
Richard Bach

We're all the sons of God, or children of the Is, or ideas of the Mind, or however else you want to say it.
