More quotes by Richard Bach

Image
And behind it lies not blind chance but a principle that works to help us understand, a thousand coincidences and friends come to show us the way when the problem seems too hard to solve alone. Problems for overcoming. Freedom for proving. And, as long as we believe in our dream, nothing by chance.
Richard Bach
Image
I don't think any of my books tell the reader anything new. But they do remind, in a time that is strident and screeching about the limitations of this world and all the trouble we can get ourselves into.
Richard Bach
Image
Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.
Richard Bach
Image
We choose our next world through what we learn in this one. Learn nothing, and the next world is the same as this one, all the same limitations and lead weights to overcome.
Richard Bach
Image
Your harshest truths are dreams, and your gentlest dreams are true.
Richard Bach
Image
If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem.
Richard Bach
Image
If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim.
Richard Bach
Image
If we believe that we're separated from someone, though they stand in the same room with us, we're separated. If we believe that we're together, if we believe that they are with us, if we listen through our inner senses, there's a chance we'll hear.
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
Never had I understood that I command, with absolute authority, the ship of my life! I decide its mission and rules and discipline, at my word waits every tool and sail, every cannon, the strength of every soul on board. I'm master of a team of passionate skills to sail me through hell's own jaws the second I nod the direction to steer.
Richard Bach
Image
Fly free and happy beyond birthdays and across forever, and we'll meet now and then when we wish, in the midst of the one celebration that never can end.
Richard Bach
Image
You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.
Richard Bach
Image
Overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now.
Richard Bach
Image
Your life is a treasure and you are so much more than you know.
Richard Bach
Image
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
Image
Wrong turns are as important as right turns. More important, sometimes.
Richard Bach
Image
Humanity is not a gift of nature, it is a spiritual achievement to be earned.
Richard Bach
Image
Grief is no more necessary when we understand death than fear is necessary when we understand flying.
Richard Bach
Image
We [people] have a teacher! The teacher is ourselves! We already know everything we need to know - our challenge is to discover that we know it. Turning to gurus, I think, we become guru-dependent, no different from drug-dependent, alcohol-dependent - needing an outside force to control our lives.

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.
