It doesn’t take time to change once you understand the problem...Somebody hands you a rattlesnake, it doesn’t take long to drop it, does it?

More quotes by Richard Bach
Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness.
Richard Bach
Character comes from following our highest sense of right, from trusting ideas without being sure they’ll work.
Richard Bach
Your whole body, from wingtip to wingtip, Jonathan would say, other times, is nothing more than your thought itself, in a form you can see. Break the chains of your thought, and you break the chains of your body, too.
Richard Bach
Every problem has a gift for you in its hands.
Richard Bach
Fear not, nor be dismayed at the appearance that is darkness, at the disguise that is evil, at the empty cloak that is death, for you have picked these for your challenges. They are stones on which you choose to whet the keen edge of your spirit.
Richard Bach
Compelling reason will never convince blinding emotion.
Richard Bach
Anybody who's ever mattered, anybody who's ever been happy, anybody who's ever given any gift into the world has been a divinely selfish soul, living for his own best interest. No exceptions.
Richard Bach
Boredom between two people doesn't come from being together physically. It comes from being apart mentally and spiritually.
Richard Bach
You've given up your whole life to be the person you are now. Is it worth it?
Richard Bach
Flyers fell a certain kinship with the sight of the earth unencrusted by humanity, they want to see it that way in one sweeping view, in reassurance that nature still exists on her own, without a chain-link fence to hold her.
Richard Bach
Mortalhood is a fine state to visit, but you'd better not call it home.
Richard Bach
If you want to meet someone who can fix any situation you don't like, who can bring you happiness in spite of what other people say or believe, look in a mirror, then say this magic word: 'Hello.'
Richard Bach
Fail at love, and the other tests don't matter.
Richard Bach
If our friendship depends on things like space and time, then when we finally overcome space and time, we've destroyed our own brotherhood! But overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now. And in the middle of Here and Now, don't you think that we might see each other once or twice?
Richard Bach
Our disasters have been some of the best things that ever happened to us. And what we swore were blessings have been some of the worst.
Richard Bach
Anyone desperate enough for suicide... should be desperate enough to go to creative extremes to solve problems: elope at midnight, stow away on the boat to New Zealand and start over, do what they always wanted to do but were afraid to try.
Richard Bach
Money is a great isolator. In fact, we don't even need to have money or make money, we only need to be perceived as having money to be isolated in the strangest ways from most of the community around us. It reaches the point where a person with money spends a great deal of time reacting to people who are reacting to the money.
Richard Bach
How is it we’re the lucky ones, living a life that the children-we-were took for dreams?
Richard Bach
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
It had never gotten old for him, flying. Never gone boring. Every engine start was a new adventure, guiding the spirit of a lovely machine back into life every takeoff blending his spirit with its own to do what's never been done in history, to lift away from the ground and fly.
Richard Bach
