The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.

More quotes by Leo Buscaglia
I get so sick and tired of hearing people gripe about what their parents did to them. You know what your parents did to you? The best thing they could do. The best thing they knew how, the only thing in many cases that they knew how. Nobody has set out maliciously to hurt their child, unless they were psychotic.
Leo Buscaglia
Love creates an us without destroying the me.
Leo Buscaglia
Happiness and love are just a choice away.
Leo Buscaglia
Why do some people always see beautiful skies and grass and lovely flowers and incredible human beings, while others are hard-pressed to find anything or any place that is beautiful?
Leo Buscaglia
We treat our encounters with them with carefree casualness. We are certain that our relationships will naturally take care of themselves.
Leo Buscaglia
Definition of a relationship - an enduring, mutually-agreed upon connection or union, which fulfills certain needs of the individuals involved and the society in which they live.
Leo Buscaglia
Strong emotions are present in all people. Without feeling, we would not be human. It's unnatural for man to hide what he's feeling, though if taught to do so, he can learn. Love teaches a man to show what he is feeling. Love never presupposes that it can be discerned or felt without expression.
Leo Buscaglia
When we cling to pain, we end up punishing ourselves.
Leo Buscaglia
Risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
Leo Buscaglia
If you don't like the scene you're in, if you're unhappy, if you're lonely, if you don't feel that things are happening, change your scene. Paint a new backdrop.
Leo Buscaglia
Change is the end result of all true learning.
Leo Buscaglia
A total immersion in life offers the best classroom for learning to love.
Leo Buscaglia
A life lived in love will never be dull.
Leo Buscaglia
Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable. The purpose of life is to matter-to count, to stand for something, to have it make so difference that we lived at all.
Leo Buscaglia
Live now. When you are eating, eat. When you are loving, love. when you are talking with someone, talk. When you are looking at a flower, look. Catch the beauty of the moment!
Leo Buscaglia
The hardest battle you're ever going to fight is the battle to be just you.
Leo Buscaglia
In order to learn, you have to be free. You have to be free to experiment, free to try, free to make mistakes.
Leo Buscaglia
Every moment spent in unhappiness is a moment of happiness lost.
Leo Buscaglia
Those who think they know it all have no way of finding out they don't.
Leo Buscaglia
Value yourself. The only people who appreciate a doormat are people with dirty shoes.
