More quotes by Leo Buscaglia
Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt, but it is the only way to live life completely.
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
Because you are human, you do have magic. Get in touch with it. When you feel the insanity rising, don't push it down. Let it come out. Just once-and then let me know what happens!
Leo Buscaglia
Every day we are offered new means for learning and growing in love.
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
Each of our acts makes a statement as to our purpose.
Leo Buscaglia
He must understand that if he is the world's finest plum and someone he loves does not like plums, he has the choice of becoming a banana. But he must be warned that if he chooses to become a banana, he will be a second rate banana. But he can always be the best plum.
Leo Buscaglia
Value yourself. The only people who appreciate a doormat are people with dirty shoes.
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
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
Happiness is intrinsic, it's an internal thing. When you build it into yourself, no external circumstances can take it away.
Leo Buscaglia
It's not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something. May I suggest that it be creating joy for others, sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind, bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely.
Leo Buscaglia
Like any other living, growing thing, love requires effort to keep it healthy.
Leo Buscaglia
Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.
Leo Buscaglia
Love is a dynamic interaction, lived every second of our lives, all of our lives.
Leo Buscaglia
Listening is love in action.
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
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.
Leo Buscaglia
Definition of a relationship - an enduring, mutually-agreed upon connection or union, which fulfills certain needs of the individuals involved and the society in which they live.
Leo Buscaglia
Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.
Leo Buscaglia
