What love we've given, we'll have forever.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Labels are distancing phenomena. They push us away from each other.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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
Image
In a crazy world, it's only your insanity that will keep you sane
Leo Buscaglia
Image
To that there is an answer.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Life is meant to be a celebration! It shouldn't be necessary to set aside special times to remind us of this fact. Wise is the person who finds a reason to make every day a special one.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
One does not fall in or out of love. One grows in love.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.
Leo Buscaglia

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
Don't over analyze your relationships.
Leo Buscaglia

No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate, and love is now.
Leo Buscaglia

He must understand that if he is the world's finest plum and someone he loves does not like plums, he has the choice of becoming a banana. But he must be warned that if he chooses to become a banana, he will be a second rate banana. But he can always be the best plum.
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 is always changing and unless we stay aware and change with it, it eludes us.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
If one wishes to know love, one must live love, in action.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
We are not for everyone and everyone is not for us. The question is, 'If we cannot be with another, can we at least not hurt them? Can we, at least, find a way to coexist?'
Leo Buscaglia
Image
We are so ruled by what people tell us we must be that we have forgotten who we are.
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
Man seldom questions the fact that ugliness and evil are to be found in the world. But he's never as ready to accept that life also offers unlimited beauty and potential for joy as well as endless opportunities for pleasure.
