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

Image
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.
Leo Buscaglia

What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.
Leo Buscaglia

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
We need others. We need others to love and we need to be loved by them.

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
We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces: we become the powerful force ourselves.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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.
