More quotes by Richard Bach
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.
Richard Bach
Good and evil are not what our parents told us, not what our church tells us, or our country, not what anybody else tells us! All of us decide good and evil for ourselves, automatically, by choosing what we want to do!
Richard Bach
Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not. Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.
Richard Bach
Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.
Richard Bach
One of the cosmic laws, I think, is that whatever we hold in our thought will come true in our experience.
Richard Bach
I’m here not because I am supposed to be here, or because I’m trapped here, but because I’d rather be with you than anywhere else in the world.
Richard Bach
If we want to end this lifetime higher than we began, we can expect an uphill road.
Richard Bach
If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem.
Richard Bach
As you believe, so it is for you.
Richard Bach
Of course I'm a fake. We're all fakes on this whole world, pretending to be something we're not. We are not just bodies walking around, not just atoms, molecules. We are unkillable, undestroyable ideas of the IS, no matter how much we believe otherwise.
Richard Bach
No one does anything uncharacteristic of who they are.
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
Mortalhood is a fine state to visit, but you'd better not call it home.
Richard Bach
The airplane is just a bunch of sticks and wires and cloth, a tool for learning about the sky and about what kind of person I am, when I fly. An airplane stands for freedom, for joy, for the power to understand, and to demonstrate that understanding. Those things aren't destructable.
Richard Bach
Isn't it strange how much we know if only we ask ourselves instead of somebody else.
Richard Bach
Grief is no more necessary when we understand death than fear is necessary when we understand flying.
Richard Bach
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.
Richard Bach
And behind it lies not blind chance but a principle that works to help us understand, a thousand coincidences and friends come to show us the way when the problem seems too hard to solve alone. Problems for overcoming. Freedom for proving. And, as long as we believe in our dream, nothing by chance.
Richard Bach
My way of writing a book is completely disorganized - to hurl myself at the problem, over and over.
Richard Bach
In the path of our happiness shall we find the learning for which we have chosen this lifetime.
Richard Bach
