Richard Bach Quotes

To bring anything into your life, imagine that it's already there.

The simplest things are often the truest.

Allow the world to live as it chooses, and allow yourself to live as you choose.

Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?

Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness.

Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.

There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go.

You teach best what you most need to learn.

The meaning I picked, the one that changed my life: Overcome fear, behold wonder.

Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't.

In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice.

Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.

If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were.

It is by not always thinking of yourself, if you can manage it, that you might somehow be happy. Until you make room in your life for someone as important to you as yourself, you will always be searching and lost.

If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem.

The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls the butterfly.

The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.

Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness. Listen to it carefully.

You are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however.

You don't want a million answers as much as you want a few forever questions. The questions are diamonds you hold in the light. Study a lifetime and you see different colors from the same jewel.

If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim.

I gave my life to become the person I am right now. Was it worth it?

Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a fake messiah.

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.

I want to be very close to someone I respect and admire and have somebody who feels the same way about me.

I don't want to do business with those who don't make a profit, because they can't give the best service.

Happiness is the reward we get for living to the highest right we know.

In order to win, you must expect to win.

Get this in mind early: We never grow up.

Every problem has a gift for you in its hands.

Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.

Bad things are not the worst things that can happen to us. Nothing is the worst thing that can happen to us!

Avoid problems, and you'll never be the one who overcame them.

Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly.

Learning is finding out what you already know.

Some choices we live not only once but a thousand times over, remembering them for the rest of our lives.

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.

Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.

Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself.

Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.

You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.

To fly as fast as thought, you must begin by knowing that you have already arrived.

Jonathan is that brilliant little fire that burns within us all, that lives only for those moments when we reach perfection.
