Quote

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?

No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate, and love is now.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
To love others you must love yourself...You can only give to others what you have yourself.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Experience seems to convince us that only fools trust, that only fools believe and accept all things. If this is true, then love is most foolish. For if it is not founded on trust, belief and acceptance, it's not love.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
To be is to do, says the existentialist. One only becomes real (human) at the point of action.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Don't over analyze your relationships.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love is always changing and unless we stay aware and change with it, it eludes us.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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

A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself -- to laugh with me, but never at me to cry with me, but never because of me to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart

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.

Like any other living, growing thing, love requires effort to keep it healthy.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
A life lived in love will never be dull.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
When we cling to pain, we end up punishing ourselves.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
One does not fall in or out of love. One grows in love.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love is a dynamic interaction, lived every second of our lives, all of our lives.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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
Image
Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.
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

...the opposite of love is not hate - it's apathy. It's not giving a damn. If somebody hates me, they must feel something ... or they couldn't possibly hate. Therefore, there's some way in which I can get to them.
