Richard Bach

“Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.”

“One of the great cosmic laws, I think, is that whatever we hold in our thought will come true in our experience. When we hold something, anything, in our thought, then somehow coincidence leads us in the direction that we've been wishing to lead ourselves.”

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

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

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

“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.”

“Learning is finding out what you already know.”

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

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

“You teach best what you most need to learn.”

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

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

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

“Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.”

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

“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.”

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