Leo Buscaglia
Image
Time has no meaning in itself unless we choose to give it significance
Leo Buscaglia

Love creates an us without destroying the me.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable. The purpose of life is to matter-to count, to stand for something, to have it make so difference that we lived at all.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
To that there is an answer.
