More quotes by Leo Buscaglia
It's not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something.
Leo Buscaglia
He must understand that if he is the world's finest plum and someone he loves does not like plums, he has the choice of becoming a banana. But he must be warned that if he chooses to become a banana, he will be a second rate banana. But he can always be the best plum.
Leo Buscaglia
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.
Leo Buscaglia
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.
Leo Buscaglia
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.
Leo Buscaglia
This loving person is a person who abhors waste - waste of time, waste of human potential. How much time we waste. As if we were going to live forever.
Leo Buscaglia
Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.
Leo Buscaglia

Leo Buscaglia
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
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
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
The only people who become wealthy by being concerned with the future are insurance companies.
Leo Buscaglia
The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.
Leo Buscaglia
Love creates an us without destroying the me.
Leo Buscaglia
Time has no meaning in itself unless we choose to give it significance
Leo Buscaglia
The greatest risk is to risk nothing at all
Leo Buscaglia
Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.
