More quotes by Leo Buscaglia
Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.
Leo Buscaglia
Change. It has the power to uplift, to heal, to stimulate, surprise, open new doors, bring fresh experience and create excitement in life. Certainly it is worth the risk.
Leo Buscaglia
Love requires that we overcome the traditional and self-defeating fears that place distance between ourselves and others.
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
Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time... It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.
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
As soon as the love relationship does not lead me to me, as soon as I in a love relationship do not lead another person to himself, this love, even if it seems to be the most secure and ecstatic attachment I have ever experienced, is not true love. For real love is dedicated to continual becoming.
Leo Buscaglia
A wife says to her husband (or vice versa), Do you love me?Of course, he replies. I've been married to you for twenty years, haven't I?How satisfied would we be if we presented someone with a vintage wine and, upon asking his opinion of it, he replied, I'm drinking it, aren't I?Love still needs expression between those who share it
Leo Buscaglia
Listening is love in action.
Leo Buscaglia
Like any other living, growing thing, love requires effort to keep it healthy.
Leo Buscaglia
Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved we love to love.
Leo Buscaglia
To be is to do, says the existentialist. One only becomes real (human) at the point of action.
Leo Buscaglia
A life without love, no matter how many other things we have, is an empty, meaningless one.
Leo Buscaglia
A loving relationship is a wanting to celebrate, communicate, and know another's heart and soul.
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
God made mud, God made dirt, God made boys so girls could flirt.
Leo Buscaglia
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
Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.
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
A wonderful realization will be the day you realize that you are unique in all the world. The world is an incredible unfulfilled tapestry, and only you can fulfill that tiny space that is yours.
