Image
Everybody needs a hug. It changes your metabolism.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love requires that we overcome the traditional and self-defeating fears that place distance between ourselves and others.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Happiness and love are just a choice away.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't 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
Experience seems to convince us that only fools trust, that only fools believe and accept all things. If this is true, then love is most foolish. For if it is not founded on trust, belief and acceptance, it's not love.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
People are not here to meet your expectations.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
The heart is the place where we live our passions. It is frail and easily broken, but wonderfully resilient. There is no point in trying to deceive the heart. It depends upon our honesty for its survival.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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
Image
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Labels are distancing phenomena. They push us away from each other.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love withers with predictability its very essence is surprise and amazement. To make love a prisoner of the mundane is to take its passion and lose it forever.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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
Image
Those who think they know it all have no way of finding out they don't.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces: we become the powerful force ourselves.
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
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
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.
