More quotes by Richard Bach
Ask yourself the secret of your success. Listen to your answer, and practice it.
Richard Bach
Some choices we live not only once but a thousand times over, remembering them for the rest of our lives.
Richard Bach
Just be who you are, calm and clear and bright. Automatically, as we shine who we are, asking ourselves every minute is this what I really want to do, doing it only when we answer yes, automatically that turns away those who have nothing to learn from who we are and attracts those who do, and from whom we have to learn, as well.
Richard Bach
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
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
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
We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill.
Richard Bach
My way of writing a book is completely disorganized - to hurl myself at the problem, over and over.
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
Like everything else, Fletcher. Practice.
Richard Bach
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
Flying prevails whenever a man and his airplane are put to a test of maximum performance.
Richard Bach
Everything you've said, everything you want to believe is already true. You may not find some of it for a while, and some of it might take longer than that, but that doesn't stop it from being true this minute!
Richard Bach
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
You're never given a dream without the power to make it true.
Richard Bach
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?
Richard Bach
A writer, or a beginning writer, is faced by the huge walls of self-consciousness. Most people think, What if I say the wrong thing? What if I don't sound erudite and sophisticated? I'll be considered a fool. In time, with a lot of practice, you realize that's your foolishness is your gift.
Richard Bach
No one does anything uncharacteristic of who they are.
Richard Bach
He who argues for his limitations gets to keep them
Richard Bach
What a delighted fascination it is, to stand aside and watch our dearest friend perform on stage without us.
Richard Bach
