More quotes by Leo Buscaglia
The life and love we create is the life and love we live.
Leo Buscaglia
Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.
Leo Buscaglia
You can't imagine the joy I feel when I hear that something I've said or done or written has helped others to regain their sense of dignity, to motivate them to develop their unique potential, to encourage them to reach out to others in love.
Leo Buscaglia
Change is the end result of all true learning.
Leo Buscaglia
He must understand that if he is the world's finest plum and someone he loves does not like plums, he has the choice of becoming a banana. But he must be warned that if he chooses to become a banana, he will be a second rate banana. But he can always be the best plum.
Leo Buscaglia
There are two big forces at work, external and internal. We have very little control over external forces such as tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain. What really matters is the internal force. How do I respond to those disasters? Over that I have complete control.
Leo Buscaglia
When we cling to pain, we end up punishing ourselves.
Leo Buscaglia
I'd like to be remembered for being a good, kind, loving, gentle man who attempted to live wisely, and who cared a lot.
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
This loving person is a person who abhors waste - waste of time, waste of human potential. How much time we waste. As if we were going to live forever.
Leo Buscaglia
The only thing of value we can give kids is what we are, not what we have.
Leo Buscaglia
There is only the moment. The now. Only what you are experiencing at this second is real.
Leo Buscaglia
You have choice. You can select joy over despair. You can select happiness over tears. You can select action over apathy. You can select growth over stagnation. You can select you. And you can select life. And it's time that people tell you you're not at the mercy of forces greater than yourself. You are, indeed, the greatest force for you.
Leo Buscaglia
We will only begin to forgive when we can look upon the wrongdoers as ourselves, neither better nor worse. We need to remember that we coexist as mortals in the world, together, the wronged and the wrongdoer, and that, in our common humanity, the situation could readily be reversed.
Leo Buscaglia
Nine times out of ten, when you extend your arms to someone, they will step in, because basically they need precisely what you need.
Leo Buscaglia
The greatest risk is to risk nothing at all
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
We are not for everyone and everyone is not for us. The question is, 'If we cannot be with another, can we at least not hurt them? Can we, at least, find a way to coexist?'
Leo Buscaglia
Man seldom questions the fact that ugliness and evil are to be found in the world. But he's never as ready to accept that life also offers unlimited beauty and potential for joy as well as endless opportunities for pleasure.
Leo Buscaglia
We need others. We need others to love and we need to be loved by them.
Leo Buscaglia
