More quotes by Leo Buscaglia
I'd like to be remembered for being a good, kind, loving, gentle man who attempted to live wisely, and who cared a lot.
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
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
Happiness is intrinsic, it's an internal thing. When you build it into yourself, no external circumstances can take it away.
Leo Buscaglia
Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.
Leo Buscaglia
Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.
Leo Buscaglia
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
Change. It has the power to uplift, to heal, to stimulate, surprise, open new doors, bring fresh experience and create excitement in life. Certainly it is worth the risk.
Leo Buscaglia
You have choice. You can select joy over despair. You can select happiness over tears. You can select action over apathy. You can select growth over stagnation. You can select you. And you can select life. And it's time that people tell you you're not at the mercy of forces greater than yourself. You are, indeed, the greatest force for you.
Leo Buscaglia
The greatest risk is to risk nothing at all
Leo Buscaglia
As soon as the love relationship does not lead me to me, as soon as I in a love relationship do not lead another person to himself, this love, even if it seems to be the most secure and ecstatic attachment I have ever experienced, is not true love. For real love is dedicated to continual becoming.
Leo Buscaglia
One does not fall in or out of love. One grows in love.
Leo Buscaglia
Don't look over people's shoulders. Look in their eyes. Don't talk at your children. Take their faces in your hands and talk to them. Don't make love to a body, make love to a person.
Leo Buscaglia
When we feel joyful, euphoric, happy, we are more open to life, more capable of seeing things clearly and handling daily tensions.
Leo Buscaglia
A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.
Leo Buscaglia
Listening is love in action.
Leo Buscaglia
I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be. You can also stop and say, 'No, I won't do it, I won't behave his way anymore. I'm lonely and I need people around me, maybe I have to change my methods of behaving,' and then you do it.
Leo Buscaglia
Only when we give joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means.
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
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
