Richard Bach

The original sin is to limit the Is. —Don't.

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 awhile, and watch your answers change.

Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.

Remember where you came from, where you're going, and why you created the mess you got yourself into in the first place.

A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed, it feels an impulsion... this is the place to go now.

But the sky knows the reason and the patterns behind all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons.

You teach best what you most need to learn.

You're going to die a horrible death, remember. It's all good training, and you'll enjoy it more if you keep the facts in mind.

Take your dying with some seriousness, however. Laughing on the way to your execution is not generally understood by less advanced lifeforms, and they'll call you crazy.

You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true.

You may have to work for it, however.

The best way to avoid responsibility is to say, "I've got responsibilities."

"There is no problem so big that it cannot be run away from."…

"You're quoting Snoopy the dog, I believe?"

"I'll quote the truth wherever I find it thank you."
