Bad things are not the worst things that can happen to us. Nothing is the worst thing that can happen to us!Richard Bach
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.Richard Bach
Kindle Singles is publishing on skates. It prints like lightning; our book meets readers in hours. I've spent so many years waiting for publishers to consider whether they wanted to print a book of mine, making contracts, taking months to fit it into the Fall list or the Spring list, fitting it into an advertising plan.Richard Bach
Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.Thomas Jefferson
It is our duty still to endeavor to avoid war; but if it shall actually take place, no matter by whom brought on, we must defend ourselves. If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it.Thomas Jefferson
If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim.Richard Bach
In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.Thomas Jefferson
