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
Image
To the extent to which you know yourself, and we are all more alike than different, you can know others. When you love yourself, you will love others. And to the depth and extent to which you can love yourself, only to that depth and extent will you be able to love others.
Leo Buscaglia

One does not fall in or out of love. One grows in love.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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.

What love we've given, we'll have forever. What love we fail to give, will be lost for all eternity.

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
There are many miracles in the world to be celebrated and, for me, garlic is the most deserving.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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
Image
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
Image
When we cling to pain, we end up punishing ourselves.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
To love others you must love yourself...You can only give to others what you have yourself.

Education should be the process of helping everyone to discover his uniqueness. -Leo Buscaglia (1924-1998)

Nine times out of ten, when you extend your arms to someone, they will step in, because basically they need precisely what you need.

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

No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate, and love is now.

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?

Like any other living, growing thing, love requires effort to keep it healthy.
