More quotes by Leo Buscaglia
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
Everybody needs a hug. It changes your metabolism.
Leo Buscaglia
You have the choice. You can choose joy over despair, happiness over tears, action over apathy, growth over stagnation.
Leo Buscaglia
Everybody is teaching Everybody to Love at every moment.
Leo Buscaglia
There are many miracles in the world to be celebrated and, for me, garlic is the most deserving.
Leo Buscaglia
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don't over-analyze your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.
Leo Buscaglia
I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be. You can also stop and say, 'No, I won't do it, I won't behave his way anymore. I'm lonely and I need people around me, maybe I have to change my methods of behaving,' and then you do it.
Leo Buscaglia
When we cling to pain, we end up punishing ourselves.
Leo Buscaglia
Love and the self are one and the discovery of either is the realization of both.
Leo Buscaglia
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
Leo Buscaglia
Value yourself. The only people who appreciate a doormat are people with dirty shoes.
Leo Buscaglia
One does not fall in or out of love. One grows in love.
Leo Buscaglia
What love we've given, we'll have forever.
Leo Buscaglia
Those who think they know it all have no way of finding out they don't.
Leo Buscaglia
To love others you must love yourself...You can only give to others what you have yourself.
Leo Buscaglia
Love is a dynamic interaction, lived every second of our lives, all of our lives.
Leo Buscaglia
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
Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.
Leo Buscaglia
It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.
Leo Buscaglia
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.
