Time has no meaning in itself unless we choose to give it significance
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love is not some complex, mystical abstraction. It is something accessible and human that we learn through our everyday experience, as often at times of failure as in moments of ecstasy.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love is not a thing, it is not lost when given. You can offer your love completely to hundreds of people and still retain the same love you had originally.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love creates an us without destroying the me.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
When we give ourselves in love we become our most vulnerable. We are never safe. We become open to disappointment and hurt.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
What love we've given, we'll have forever. What love we fail to give, will be lost for all eternity.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
I exist, I am, I am here, I am becoming, I make my own life and no one else makes it for me. I must face my own shortcomings, mistakes, transgressions. No one can suffer my non-being as I do, but tomorrow is another day, and I must decide to leave my bed and live again. And if I fail, I don't have the comfort of blaming you or life or God.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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
Image
We created time, and now we have become the slave of time.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Man seldom questions the fact that ugliness and evil are to be found in the world. But he's never as ready to accept that life also offers unlimited beauty and potential for joy as well as endless opportunities for pleasure.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
A wonderful realization will be the day you realize that you are unique in all the world. The world is an incredible unfulfilled tapestry, and only you can fulfill that tiny space that is yours.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
In the end you have only you.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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
Image
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.
