Don't look over people's shoulders. Look in their eyes. Don't talk at your children. Take their faces in your hands and talk to them. Don't make love to a body, make love to a person.
Leo Buscaglia

A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.

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
Image
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
Image

Because you are human, you do have magic. Get in touch with it. When you feel the insanity rising, don't push it down. Let it come out. Just once-and then let me know what happens!

The greatest risk is to risk nothing at all
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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
Image
One cannot give what he does not possess. To give love you must possess love. To love others you must love yourself.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
In order to learn, you have to be free. You have to be free to experiment, free to try, free to make mistakes.

Those who think they know it all have no way of finding out they don't.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
We treat our encounters with them with carefree casualness. We are certain that our relationships will naturally take care of themselves.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
One does not fall in or out of love. One grows in love.

In the end you have only you.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Say yes to life! Yes to wonder, to joy, to despair. Yes to pain, yes to what you don't understand. Try yes. Try always. Try possible. Try hopeful. Try I will. And try I can.
