Leo Buscaglia
A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.
Leo Buscaglia
To the extent to which you know yourself, and we are all more alike than different, you can know others. When you love yourself, you will love others. And to the depth and extent to which you can love yourself, only to that depth and extent will you be able to love others.
Leo Buscaglia
Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.
Leo Buscaglia

Leo Buscaglia

Leo Buscaglia
Each of our acts makes a statement as to our purpose.
Leo Buscaglia
We all need to be recognized for what we're doing, for our work. Every once in a while we need someone to come up to us and say, 'You're beautiful. That was well done. That's nice.'
Leo Buscaglia
Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!
Leo Buscaglia
He who remains calm while those around him panic probably doesn't know what's going on.
Leo Buscaglia
If I don't have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance.
Leo Buscaglia
The most unfortunate thing that happens to a person who fears failure is that he limits himself by becoming afraid to try anything new.
Leo Buscaglia
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.
Leo Buscaglia
