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.

More quotes by Leo Buscaglia
We are so ruled by what people tell us we must be that we have forgotten who we are.
Leo Buscaglia
Love requires that we overcome the traditional and self-defeating fears that place distance between ourselves and others.
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
Education should be the process of helping everyone to discover his uniqueness. -Leo Buscaglia (1924-1998)
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 always changing and unless we stay aware and change with it, it eludes us.
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 are many miracles in the world to be celebrated and, for me, garlic is the most deserving.
Leo Buscaglia
No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate, and love is now.
Leo Buscaglia
Education should be the process of helping everyone to discover his uniqueness, to teach him how to develop that uniqueness, and then to show him how to share it because that’s the only reason for having anything.
Leo Buscaglia
A life without love, no matter how many other things we have, is an empty, meaningless one.
Leo Buscaglia
We need others. We need others to love and we need to be loved by them. There is no doubt that without it, we too, like the infant left alone, would cease to grow, cease to develop, choose madness and even death.
Leo Buscaglia
We all need to be recognized for what we're doing, for our work. Every once in a while we need someone to come up to us and say, 'You're beautiful. That was well done. That's nice.'
Leo Buscaglia
One cannot give what he does not possess. To give love you must possess love. To love others you must love yourself.
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
I was one of those fortunate individuals who grew up in a large, passionate, demonstrative Italian family where we were taught to love as naturally as we breathed and ate giant bowls of pasta!
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
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
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
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.
