Image
To be is to do, says the existentialist. One only becomes real (human) at the point of action.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved we love to love.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Everybody needs a hug. It changes your metabolism.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
The human need to play is a powerful one. When we ignore it, we feel there is something missing in our lives.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love creates an us without destroying the me.
Leo Buscaglia

Like any other living, growing thing, love requires effort to keep it healthy.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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
Value yourself. The only people who appreciate a doormat are people with dirty shoes.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Things omitted are often more deadly than errors committed.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
The heart is the place where we live our passions. It is frail and easily broken, but wonderfully resilient. There is no point in trying to deceive the heart. It depends upon our honesty for its survival.
Leo Buscaglia

Change is the end result of all true learning.
Leo Buscaglia

Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Happiness and love are just a choice away.
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
What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
I love to think that the day you're born, you're given the world as a birthday present.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love is trusting, accepting, and believing, without guarantee. Love is patient and waits, but it's an active waiting, not a passive one. For it is continually offering itself in a mutual revealing, a mutual sharing. Love is spontaneous and craves expression through joy, through beauty, through truth, even through tears.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces: we become the powerful force ourselves.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
We all need to be recognized for what we're doing, for our work. Every once in a while we need someone to come up to us and say, 'You're beautiful. That was well done. That's nice.'
