Catch the beauty of the moment!
Leo Buscaglia

Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt, but it is the only way to live life completely.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate, and love is now.

Change is the end result of all true learning.
Leo Buscaglia

Image
A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.
Leo Buscaglia

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

If you want to learn to love, then you must start the process of finding out what it is, what qualities make up a loving person and how these are developed. Each person has the potential for love. But potential is never realized without work.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
There are two big forces at work, external and internal. We have very little control over external forces such as tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain. What really matters is the internal force. How do I respond to those disasters? Over that I have complete control.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
A total immersion in life offers the best classroom for learning to love.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
There is only the moment. The now. Only what you are experiencing at this second is real.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love and the self are one and the discovery of either is the realization of both.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love requires that we overcome the traditional and self-defeating fears that place distance between ourselves and others.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
What love we've given, we'll have forever.
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
Love withers with predictability its very essence is surprise and amazement. To make love a prisoner of the mundane is to take its passion and lose it forever.
