Richard Bach

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Learning is finding out what you already 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.

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

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

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

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

Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.

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

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.

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

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

True love stories never have endings.

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