We treat our encounters with them with carefree casualness. We are certain that our relationships will naturally take care of themselves.

More quotes by Leo Buscaglia
When we give ourselves in love we become our most vulnerable. We are never safe. We become open to disappointment and hurt.
Leo Buscaglia
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
We are so ruled by what people tell us we must be that we have forgotten who we are.
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
Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.
Leo Buscaglia
I get so sick and tired of hearing people gripe about what their parents did to them. You know what your parents did to you? The best thing they could do. The best thing they knew how, the only thing in many cases that they knew how. Nobody has set out maliciously to hurt their child, unless they were psychotic.
Leo Buscaglia
We all need to be recognized for what we're doing, for our work. Every once in a while we need someone to come up to us and say, 'You're beautiful. That was well done. That's nice.'
Leo Buscaglia
A loving relationship is a wanting to celebrate, communicate, and know another's heart and soul.
Leo Buscaglia
Let go. Why do you cling to pain? There is nothing you can do about the wrongs of yesterday. It is not yours to judge. Why hold on to the very thing which keeps you from hope and love?
Leo Buscaglia
A life without love, no matter how many other things we have, is an empty, meaningless one.
Leo Buscaglia
I love to think that the day you're born, you're given the world as a birthday present.
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
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
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
Life is meant to be a celebration! It shouldn't be necessary to set aside special times to remind us of this fact. Wise is the person who finds a reason to make every day a special one.
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
The human need to play is a powerful one. When we ignore it, we feel there is something missing in our lives.
Leo Buscaglia
The hardest battle you're ever going to fight is the battle to be just you.
Leo Buscaglia
What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.
Leo Buscaglia
People are not here to meet your expectations.
