More quotes by 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
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.
Leo Buscaglia
Love requires that we overcome the traditional and self-defeating fears that place distance between ourselves and others.
Leo Buscaglia
If one wishes to know love, one must live love, in action.
Leo Buscaglia
Those who think they know it all have no way of finding out they don't.
Leo Buscaglia
Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized.
Leo Buscaglia
I love to think that the day you're born, you're given the world as a birthday present.
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
That's love. That's all it means. It means sharing joy with people.
Leo Buscaglia
A life of love is one of continual growth, where the doors and windows of experience are always open to the wonder and magic that life offers. To love is to risk living fully.
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
People are not here to meet your expectations.
Leo Buscaglia
Joy is always an integral part of loving. There is joy in every act of life, no matter how menial or repetitive. To work in love is to work in joy. To live in love is to live in joy... Why not choose joy?... Why not live in joy?
Leo Buscaglia
It doesn't matter who you have hurt, if you've learned not to hurt again. It doesn't matter what mistakes you've made as long as you don't make them again. As long as you learn, as long as you're willing to take your life in your hands, and kiss it and go from there. Then there is growth. There there is life!
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
Your talent is God's gift to you.
Leo Buscaglia
The only thing of value we can give kids is what we are, not what we have.
Leo Buscaglia
A life without love, no matter how many other things we have, is an empty, meaningless one.
Leo Buscaglia
Love is a dynamic interaction, lived every second of our lives, all of our lives.
Leo Buscaglia
You can only give away what you have ... If you have love, you can give it. If you don't have it, you don't have it to give.
Leo Buscaglia
