Richard Bach

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.

I gave my life to be the person I am today. Was it worth it?

Laughing on the way to your execution is not generally understood by less advanced life-forms, and they'll call you crazy.

We generate our own environment. We get exactly what we deserve. How can we resent the life weve created for ourselves? Whos to blame, whos to credit, but us? Who can change it anytime we wish, but us?

Every problem has a gift for you in its hands.

Learning is finding out what you already know

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.

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.

Don't be dismayed at 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.

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.

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 that mark of a fake messiah.

You teach best what you most need to learn.

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

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

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

Humanity is not a gift of nature, it is a spiritual achievement to be earned.

The bonds that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each others life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.

Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they're yours.

Do what you think and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours.

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

Real love stories never have endings.
