Richard Bach

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

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

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

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

“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.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

“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.”

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

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

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

“True love stories never have endings.”

“Strong beliefs win strong men, and then make them stronger.”

“What the caterpillar calls the end of the world the master calls a butterfly.”

“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.”

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

“Ask yourself the secret of your success. Listen to your answer, and practice it.”

“Not being known doesn't stop the truth from being true.”

“The more I want to get something done, the less I call it work.”
