Image
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Things omitted are often more deadly than errors committed.
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
Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt, but it is the only way to live life completely.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
The only people who become wealthy by being concerned with the future are insurance companies.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces: we become the powerful force ourselves.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Only when we give joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
The greatest risk is to risk nothing at all
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
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
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
Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Learn to bend. It's better than breaking.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
We created time, and now we have become the slave of time.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
He who remains calm while those around him panic probably doesn't know what's going on.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
A life without love, no matter how many other things we have, is an empty, meaningless one.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.
