Image
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
Image
In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice.
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
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
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
Image
He was not bone and feather but a perfect idea of freedom and flight, limited by nothing at all
Richard Bach
Image
In the path of our happiness shall we find the learning for which we have chosen this lifetime.
Richard Bach
Image
My airplane is quiet, and for a moment still an alien, still a stranger to the ground, I am home.

Image
If you will practice being fictional for a while, you will understand that fictional characters are sometimes more real than people with bodies and heartbeats.
Richard Bach
Image
Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them.
Richard Bach
Image
Reputation is what people think you are. Character is who you really are. Take care of your character and your reputation will take care of itself. The more I want to get something done, the less I call it work.
Richard Bach
Image
Whatever it is that calls us, that's our path. And as we walk that path, we have a chance to shine forth who we are. It affects other people around us.
Richard Bach
Image
What matters is how I use what I know, every minute of every day how I use it to remember, in the midst of the game.
Richard Bach
Image
Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they're yours.
Richard Bach
Image
Were we, also, hiking along some cosmic journal page? Were the events about us all part of a message we could understand, if only we found the right perspective from which to read them? Somehow, with our long series of miracles, I thought so.
Richard Bach
Image
If you're always looking at someone else, trying to imitate them, how can your natural gifts ever emerge?
Richard Bach
Image
The only true law is that which leads to freedom.
Richard Bach
Image
Look in the mirror and one thing is sure: what we see is not who we are.
Richard Bach
Image
I do everything myself, from engine start to engine shutdown. In a war, I will face alone the missiles and the flak and the small-arms fire over the front lines. If I die, I will die alone.
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.
