Quote

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.

What love we've given, we'll have forever. What love we fail to give, will be lost for all eternity.
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
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?
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Loving yourself involves the discovery of the true wonder of you not only the present you, but the many possibilities of you. It involves the continual realization that you are unique, like no other person in the world, that life is, or should be, the discovery, the development and the sharing of this uniqueness.

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

A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.
Leo Buscaglia

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
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

Learn to bend. It's better than breaking.
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.

Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.

If I don't have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
If you don't like the scene you're in, if you're unhappy, if you're lonely, if you don't feel that things are happening, change your scene. Paint a new backdrop.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
You can only give away what you have ... If you have love, you can give it. If you don't have it, you don't have it to give.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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.

A life lived in love will never be dull.
