Richard Bach

A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks.

The world’s crazy, when it comes to beauty.

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

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

Respect for sovereignity, for privacy, for total independence. Gentle alliances against loneliness, they were, cool rational love-affairs without the love.

What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.

How you see the future is much more important than what happened in your past.

Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for.

It is thrifty to prepare today for the wants of tomorrow.

Everyone wants to go to Heaven, but no one wants to die.

Rise early, work hard, strike oil.

As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.

Knowledge is that which benefits, not that which is memorised.

Vision without action is daydream. Action without vision is nightmare.

I believe success is achieved by ordinary people with extraordinary determination.

You can make just about anything of your life-anything you will believe or will visualize, anything you will pray for and work for. Look deeply into your mind. Amazing wonders are there. Whatever the situation may be, you can improve it.

Go forth into the world and turn your hopes and dreams into action. America has always been the land of dreams because America is a nation of true believers.

People are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves. That is why they remain bound.

It’s a blip, not a catastrophe.

We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already. We have the power to imagine better.

All great things begin with a vision … a dream.
