Don't spend your precious time asking Why isn't the world a better place? It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is How can I make it better? To that there is an answer.

More quotes by Leo Buscaglia
Love is not a thing, it is not lost when given. You can offer your love completely to hundreds of people and still retain the same love you had originally.
Leo Buscaglia
Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.
Leo Buscaglia
Every moment spent in unhappiness is a moment of happiness lost.
Leo Buscaglia
We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces: we become the powerful force ourselves.
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
Happiness and love are just a choice away.
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
Love is a dynamic interaction, lived every second of our lives, all of our lives.
Leo Buscaglia
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.
Leo Buscaglia
Love yourself-accept yourself-forgive yourself-and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.
Leo Buscaglia
Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.
Leo Buscaglia
Change is the end result of all true learning.
Leo Buscaglia
We need others. We need others to love and we need to be loved by them.
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
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.
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
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
There is only the moment. The now. Only what you are experiencing at this second is real.
Leo Buscaglia
The only people who become wealthy by being concerned with the future are insurance companies.
Leo Buscaglia
...the opposite of love is not hate - it's apathy. It's not giving a damn. If somebody hates me, they must feel something ... or they couldn't possibly hate. Therefore, there's some way in which I can get to them.
Leo Buscaglia
