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
Risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
A life lived in love will never be dull.
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
Happiness is intrinsic, it's an internal thing. When you build it into yourself, no external circumstances can take it away.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
God made mud, God made dirt, God made boys so girls could flirt.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Every moment spent in unhappiness is a moment of happiness lost.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Those who think they know it all have no way of finding out they don't.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Listening is love in action.
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.
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
To the extent to which you know yourself, and we are all more alike than different, you can know others. When you love yourself, you will love others. And to the depth and extent to which you can love yourself, only to that depth and extent will you be able to love others.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love is not some complex, mystical abstraction. It is something accessible and human that we learn through our everyday experience, as often at times of failure as in moments of ecstasy.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
A loving relationship is a wanting to celebrate, communicate, and know another's heart and soul.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
In the end you have only you.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
We will only begin to forgive when we can look upon the wrongdoers as ourselves, neither better nor worse. We need to remember that we coexist as mortals in the world, together, the wronged and the wrongdoer, and that, in our common humanity, the situation could readily be reversed.
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
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

To that there is an answer.
