More quotes by Leo Buscaglia
I get so sick and tired of hearing people gripe about what their parents did to them. You know what your parents did to you? The best thing they could do. The best thing they knew how, the only thing in many cases that they knew how. Nobody has set out maliciously to hurt their child, unless they were psychotic.
Leo Buscaglia
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.
Leo Buscaglia
A life without passion is not living, it's merely existing
Leo Buscaglia
A life without love, no matter how many other things we have, is an empty, meaningless one.
Leo Buscaglia
You can't imagine the joy I feel when I hear that something I've said or done or written has helped others to regain their sense of dignity, to motivate them to develop their unique potential, to encourage them to reach out to others in love.
Leo Buscaglia
We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces: we become the powerful force ourselves.
Leo Buscaglia
Things omitted are often more deadly than errors committed.
Leo Buscaglia
Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.
Leo Buscaglia
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?
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
To be is to do, says the existentialist. One only becomes real (human) at the point of action.
Leo Buscaglia
Education should be the process of helping everyone to discover his uniqueness, to teach him how to develop that uniqueness, and then to show him how to share it because that’s the only reason for having anything.
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
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
Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved we love to love.
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
Love is always changing and unless we stay aware and change with it, it eludes us.
Leo Buscaglia
We need others. We need others to love and we need to be loved by them.
Leo Buscaglia
One does not fall in or out of love. One grows in love.
Leo Buscaglia
Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.
