Quote

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

Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness.
Richard Bach
Image
One way to pick a future is to believe it’s inevitable.
Richard Bach
Image
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
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
You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.
Richard Bach
Image
Why? What is so wonderful about mass murder that nobody in the history of the world has ever fond any smarter solution to problems than killing everybody who doesn’t agree? Is that the limit of human intelligence?
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.

Image
Sometimes when learning comes before experience It doesn't make sense right away.
Richard Bach
Image
True love stories never have endings.
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.
Richard Bach
Image
You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self. Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them. You're always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.
Richard Bach
Image
If our friendship depends on things like space and time, then when we finally overcome space and time, we've destroyed our own brotherhood! But overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now. And in the middle of Here and Now, don't you think that we might see each other once or twice?
Richard Bach
Image
You are life, inventing form. No more can you die on sword or years than you can die on doorways through which you walk, one room into another. Every room gives its word for you to speak, every passage its song for you to sing.
Richard Bach
Image
You've given up your whole life to be the person you are now. Is it worth it?
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
My airplane is quiet, and for a moment still an alien, still a stranger to the ground, I am home.
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
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
Your harshest truths are dreams, and your gentlest dreams are true.
Richard Bach

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.
