Every moment spent in unhappiness is a moment of happiness lost.
Leo Buscaglia

One does not fall in or out of love. One grows in love.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
We created time, and now we have become the slave of time.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Tact is rubbing out another's mistake instead of rubbing it in.
Leo Buscaglia

To that there is an answer.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Every day we are offered new means for learning and growing in love.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
To love others you must love yourself...You can only give to others what you have yourself.
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.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
This loving person is a person who abhors waste - waste of time, waste of human potential. How much time we waste. As if we were going to live forever.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
It's not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something.
