Quote

Joy is always an integral part of loving. There is joy in every act of life, no matter how menial or repetitive. To work in love is to work in joy. To live in love is to live in joy... Why not choose joy?... Why not live in joy?

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

Image
In order to learn, you have to be free. You have to be free to experiment, free to try, free to make mistakes.
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.

The only thing of value we can give kids is what we are, not what we have.
Leo Buscaglia

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
The life and love we create is the life and love we live.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
If I don't have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance.
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
Nine times out of ten, when you extend your arms to someone, they will step in, because basically they need precisely what you need.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Things omitted are often more deadly than errors committed.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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
Value yourself. The only people who appreciate a doormat are people with dirty shoes.
Leo Buscaglia
