Quote

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.

More quotes by Leo Buscaglia

Image
Happiness is intrinsic, it's an internal thing. When you build it into yourself, no external circumstances can take it away.
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
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
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.

Time has no meaning in itself unless we choose to give it significance
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt, but it is the only way to live life completely.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.

Image
Change is the end result of all true learning.

The only people who become wealthy by being concerned with the future are insurance companies.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate, and love is now.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love is a dynamic interaction, lived every second of our lives, all of our lives.
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
If one wishes to know love, one must live love, in action.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love and the self are one and the discovery of either is the realization of both.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
The most unfortunate thing that happens to a person who fears failure is that he limits himself by becoming afraid to try anything new.
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
Image
I'd like to be remembered for being a good, kind, loving, gentle man who attempted to live wisely, and who cared a lot.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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

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