More quotes by Leo Buscaglia
To the extent to which you know yourself, and we are all more alike than different, you can know others. When you love yourself, you will love others. And to the depth and extent to which you can love yourself, only to that depth and extent will you be able to love others.
Leo Buscaglia
Learn to bend. It's better than breaking.
Leo Buscaglia
The greatest risk is to risk nothing at all
Leo Buscaglia
The life and love we create is the life and love we live.
Leo Buscaglia
We treat our encounters with them with carefree casualness. We are certain that our relationships will naturally take care of themselves.
Leo Buscaglia
We are so ruled by what people tell us we must be that we have forgotten who we are.
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
Your talent is God's gift to you.
Leo Buscaglia
Nine times out of ten, when you extend your arms to someone, they will step in, because basically they need precisely what you need.
Leo Buscaglia

Leo Buscaglia
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
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
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
The only thing of value we can give kids is what we are, not what we have.
Leo Buscaglia
Value yourself. The only people who appreciate a doormat are people with dirty shoes.
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
The essence of education is not to stuff you with facts but to help you discover your uniqueness, to teach you how to develop it, and then to show you how to give it away.
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
Change is the end result of all true learning.
Leo Buscaglia
Only when we give joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means.
