Quote

That’s what learning is, after all not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we’ve changed because of it, and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way is winning.

Allow the world to live as it chooses, and allow yourself to live as you choose.
Richard Bach

Your harshest truths are dreams, and your gentlest dreams are true.
Richard Bach
Image
We are each given a block of marble when we begin a lifetime, and the tools to shape it into sculpture... We can drag it behind us untouched, we can pound it into gravel, we can shape it into glory.
Richard Bach
Image
nobody means to get carried away in mediocrity, but it happens, it happens unless you think about everything you do, unless you make every choice the best one you know how to make.
Richard Bach
Image
I think the source of our sorrow and the source of our joy are intimately entwined. Our sorrow is that we have forgotten who we are, we have forgotten we are one with that source of all life - absolutely indestructible, perfect, joyful. The source of our joy is when we remember that.
Richard Bach

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.

Evolution made civilization steward of this planet. A hundred thousand years later, the steward stood before evolution not helper but destroyer, not healer but parasite. So evolution withdrew its gift, passed civilization by, rescued the planet from intelligence and handed it to love.

When you're flying, an airplane doesn't care who you are it doesn't care how much money you make or don't make. All it cares about is: How well do you fly? How well do you know the airplane? How well do you know the sky?

Live never to be ashamed if anything you say or do is published around the world, even if what is said is not true.
Richard Bach
Image
I think there's an invisible principle of living too. If we believe we're guided through every step of our lives, we are. It's a lovely sight, watching it work.
Richard Bach
Image
Two words: Love leads. Listen to that ring of love within. If we follow that leading of love we'll be guaranteed an adventurous, positive, joyful life.

True enjoy stories never ever have endings.

If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours if they don't they never were.
Richard Bach
Image
How can a deer tell when a leaf falls silent in the forest? She hears it breathing differently.
Richard Bach
Image
Boredom between two people doesn't come from being together physically. It comes from being apart mentally and spiritually.
Richard Bach
Image
Live enough of what you've always dreamed of doing, and there's no room left for feeling bad.
Richard Bach
Image
Rebuilding us. Isn't that what the spirit requires, when we climb over the wreckage of our lives, sometimes, we go on to make our lives our own affirmation? We are perfect expressions of perfect Love, here and now. There is no permanent injury.

In the path of our happiness shall we find the learning for which we have chosen this lifetime.
