Responsible is Able to respond, Able to answer for the way we choose to live. There's only one person we have to answer to, of course, and that is ourselves.
Richard Bach
Image
Two words: Love leads. Listen to that ring of love within. If we follow that leading of love we'll be guaranteed an adventurous, positive, joyful life.

You're never given a dream without the power to make it true.
Richard Bach

Before you'll change, something important must be at risk.
Richard Bach
Image
When you dream, all the scenery, characters, events, perils, and outcomes are built from your own consciousness, the darks and oppressions as well as the delights. Same with the world awake, though it takes you longer to build it.
Richard Bach
Image
Learning is finding out what you already know.
Richard Bach
Image
Overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now.
Richard Bach
Image
I relax my body completely, relax my mind completely, and then imagine myself at a level where anything can happen.
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
Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.
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
There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts.
Richard Bach
Image
Then be sure of one thing: The Is has imagined it quite a bit better than you have. The original sin is to limit the Is. Don't.
Richard Bach
Image
Nothing happens by chance, my friend... No such thing as luck. A meaning behind every little thing, and such a meaning behind this. Part for you, part for me, may not see it all real clear right now, but we will, before long.
