He who remains calm while those around him panic probably doesn't know what's going on.
Leo Buscaglia

Love requires that we overcome the traditional and self-defeating fears that place distance between ourselves and others.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Change. It has the power to uplift, to heal, to stimulate, surprise, open new doors, bring fresh experience and create excitement in life. Certainly it is worth the risk.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
He must understand that if he is the world's finest plum and someone he loves does not like plums, he has the choice of becoming a banana. But he must be warned that if he chooses to become a banana, he will be a second rate banana. But he can always be the best plum.

You have choice. You can select joy over despair. You can select happiness over tears. You can select action over apathy. You can select growth over stagnation. You can select you. And you can select life. And it's time that people tell you you're not at the mercy of forces greater than yourself. You are, indeed, the greatest force for you.

Love yourself-accept yourself-forgive yourself-and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.
Leo Buscaglia
Image

Leo Buscaglia

Leo Buscaglia

Things omitted are often more deadly than errors committed.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love and the self are one and the discovery of either is the realization of both.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Ninety per-cent of what we worry about never happens, yet we worry and worry. What a horrible way to go through life! What a horrible thing to do to your colon!
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
Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time... It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Celebrate your humanness, celebrate your craziness, celebrate your inadequacies, celebrate your loneliness ... but celebrate YOU!
Leo Buscaglia
Image
The essence of education is not to stuff you with facts but to help you discover your uniqueness, to teach you how to develop it, and then to show you how to give it away.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Everybody needs a hug. It changes your metabolism.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Say yes to life! Yes to wonder, to joy, to despair. Yes to pain, yes to what you don't understand. Try yes. Try always. Try possible. Try hopeful. Try I will. And try I can.
Leo Buscaglia

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