Quotes from Richard Bandler

When people start asking good questions, they make good pictures inside their heads. If you make good pictures, you will get good feelings. Then life becomes something that you feel more enthusiasm for.

When I studied phobias, I didn't study the people who had them. I studied the people who got over them.

All of these people, as they told me their stories, shared certain things in common. One example was that they reached a point where they got so fed up they stopped thinking about what scared them. They started to look at themselves being afraid and started thinking, This is really silly. Elements like these, which they all shared in common, allowed me to develop the first "phobia cure." It wasn't really a "cure" so much as a "lesson.

The fact is that there is nothing wrong with most of us that a good, clean change of attitude and some new skills wouldn't fix.

It's an attitude that has to do with curiosity, with wanting to know about things, wanting to be able to influence things, and wanting to be able to influence them in a way that's worthwhile

NLP is an attitude and a methodology, not the trail of techniques it leaves behind

The meaning of a communication is the result you get.

Evolution isn't over. We are the experience that the universe is having.

There are no failures - only feedback.

The best thing about the past is that it's over. The best thing about the future is that it's yet to come. The best thing about the present is that it's here now.

We take the very best of what people do, synthesise it down, make it learnable and share it with each other - and that is what the real future of what NLP will be and its gonna stay that way!
