Life's battles don't always go to the strongest or fastest sooner or later those who win are those who think they can.
Richard Bach
Image
The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change.
Richard Bach
Image
How much to learn if we could spend one hour, spend twenty minutes, with the us we will become! How much could we say to the us we were.
Richard Bach
Image
In order to win, you must expect to win.
Richard Bach
Image
We think, sometimes, there’s not a dragon left. Not one brave knight, not a single princess gliding through secret forests... What a pleasure to be wrong. Princesses, knights, enchantments and dragons, mystery and adventure... not only are they here-and-now, they’re all that ever lived on earth!
Richard Bach
Image
What would our lives be like without tests, odds against us, adventure, risk?
Richard Bach
Image
You're never given a dream without the power to make it true.
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.

Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.
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
Image
Cherish yesterday, Dream tomorrow, Live today.
Richard Bach
Image
Reason and intellect are opening wedges in an understanding of reality.
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
Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours. Do you think, if you say the word impossible enough times, that difficult things will suddenly become easier for you?
Richard Bach
Image
If we must lose wife or husband when we live to our highest right, we lose an unhappy marriage as well, and we gain ourselves. But if a marriage is born between two already self-discovered, what a lovely adventure begins, hurricanes and all.
Richard Bach
Image
One way to pick a future is to believe it’s inevitable.
Richard Bach
Image
Everything is exactly as it is for a reason. The crumb on your table is no mystical reminder of this morning's cookie, it is there because you have chosen not to remove it. No exceptions.
Richard Bach
Image
Thought plus belief equals manifestation.
Richard Bach
Image
Reality lies far beyond space and time, and I need to know why.
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.
