Quote

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.

People are not here to meet your expectations.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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
Image
I love to think that the day you're born, you're given the world as a birthday present.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate, and love is now.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love is always changing and unless we stay aware and change with it, it eludes us.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
To be is to do, says the existentialist. One only becomes real (human) at the point of action.
Leo Buscaglia

Leo Buscaglia
Image
What love we've given, we'll have forever.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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
Image
If you want to learn to love, then you must start the process of finding out what it is, what qualities make up a loving person and how these are developed. Each person has the potential for love. But potential is never realized without work.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Strong emotions are present in all people. Without feeling, we would not be human. It's unnatural for man to hide what he's feeling, though if taught to do so, he can learn. Love teaches a man to show what he is feeling. Love never presupposes that it can be discerned or felt without expression.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
The life and love we create is the life and love we live.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Live now. When you are eating, eat. When you are loving, love. when you are talking with someone, talk. When you are looking at a flower, look. Catch the beauty of the moment!
Leo Buscaglia
Image
When we give ourselves in love we become our most vulnerable. We are never safe. We become open to disappointment and hurt.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
We treat our encounters with them with carefree casualness. We are certain that our relationships will naturally take care of themselves.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love is trusting, accepting, and believing, without guarantee. Love is patient and waits, but it's an active waiting, not a passive one. For it is continually offering itself in a mutual revealing, a mutual sharing. Love is spontaneous and craves expression through joy, through beauty, through truth, even through tears.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
One cannot give what he does not possess. To give love you must possess love. To love others you must love yourself.
