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.

More quotes by Leo Buscaglia
There is only the moment. The now. Only what you are experiencing at this second is real.
Leo Buscaglia
A life of love is one of continual growth, where the doors and windows of experience are always open to the wonder and magic that life offers. To love is to risk living fully.
Leo Buscaglia
Each of our acts makes a statement as to our purpose.
Leo Buscaglia
I love to think that the day you're born, you're given the world as a birthday present.
Leo Buscaglia
The hardest battle you're ever going to fight is the battle to be just you.
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
Risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
Leo Buscaglia
Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.
Leo Buscaglia
Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.
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
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
In order to learn, you have to be free. You have to be free to experiment, free to try, free to make mistakes.
Leo Buscaglia
It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.
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
What love we've given, we'll have forever. What love we fail to give, will be lost for all eternity.
Leo Buscaglia
We are not for everyone and everyone is not for us. The question is, 'If we cannot be with another, can we at least not hurt them? Can we, at least, find a way to coexist?'
Leo Buscaglia
Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.
Leo Buscaglia
To love others you must love yourself...You can only give to others what you have yourself.
Leo Buscaglia
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.
Leo Buscaglia
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
