More quotes by Leo Buscaglia
It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.
Leo Buscaglia
We need others. We need others to love and we need to be loved by them.
Leo Buscaglia
Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.
Leo Buscaglia
God made mud, God made dirt, God made boys so girls could flirt.
Leo Buscaglia
I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be. You can also stop and say, 'No, I won't do it, I won't behave his way anymore. I'm lonely and I need people around me, maybe I have to change my methods of behaving,' and then you do it.
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
To be is to do, says the existentialist. One only becomes real (human) at the point of action.
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
Life is meant to be a celebration! It shouldn't be necessary to set aside special times to remind us of this fact. Wise is the person who finds a reason to make every day a special one.
Leo Buscaglia
Labels are distancing phenomena. They push us away from each other.
Leo Buscaglia
Loving yourself involves the discovery of the true wonder of you not only the present you, but the many possibilities of you. It involves the continual realization that you are unique, like no other person in the world, that life is, or should be, the discovery, the development and the sharing of this uniqueness.
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
Tact is rubbing out another's mistake instead of rubbing it in.
Leo Buscaglia
A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself -- to laugh with me, but never at me to cry with me, but never because of me to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart
Leo Buscaglia
Each man lives love in his limited fashion and does not seem to relate the resultant confusion and loneliness to his lack of knowledge about love.
Leo Buscaglia
If I don't have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance.
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
Every day we are offered new means for learning and growing in love.
Leo Buscaglia
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don't over-analyze your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.
Leo Buscaglia
Catch the beauty of the moment!
