Quote

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.

The human need to play is a powerful one. When we ignore it, we feel there is something missing in our lives.

Image
We created time, and now we have become the slave of time.

If one wishes to know love, one must live love, in action.
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.

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.

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!

Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.

A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.

Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt, but it is the only way to live life completely.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
You have the choice. You can choose joy over despair, happiness over tears, action over apathy, growth over stagnation.

Why do some people always see beautiful skies and grass and lovely flowers and incredible human beings, while others are hard-pressed to find anything or any place that is beautiful?
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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.

Image
The essence of education is not to stuff you with facts but to help you discover your uniqueness, to teach you how to develop it, and then to show you how to give it away.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
The life and love we create is the life and love we live.

Each of our acts makes a statement as to our purpose.

Don't spend your precious time asking Why isn't the world a better place? It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is How can I make it better? To that there is an answer.
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

A life without passion is not living, it's merely existing

Risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

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.
