More quotes by Leo Buscaglia
In the end you have only you.
Leo Buscaglia
I exist, I am, I am here, I am becoming, I make my own life and no one else makes it for me. I must face my own shortcomings, mistakes, transgressions. No one can suffer my non-being as I do, but tomorrow is another day, and I must decide to leave my bed and live again. And if I fail, I don't have the comfort of blaming you or life or God.
Leo Buscaglia
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.
Leo Buscaglia
Love requires that we overcome the traditional and self-defeating fears that place distance between ourselves and others.
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
If one wishes to know love, one must live love, in action.
Leo Buscaglia
The most unfortunate thing that happens to a person who fears failure is that he limits himself by becoming afraid to try anything new.
Leo Buscaglia
The only thing of value we can give kids is what we are, not what we have.
Leo Buscaglia
The life and love we create is the life and love we live.
Leo Buscaglia
Everybody is teaching Everybody to Love at every moment.
Leo Buscaglia
To be is to do, says the existentialist. One only becomes real (human) at the point of action.
Leo Buscaglia
The greatest risk is to risk nothing at all
Leo Buscaglia
Love is not some complex, mystical abstraction. It is something accessible and human that we learn through our everyday experience, as often at times of failure as in moments of ecstasy.
Leo Buscaglia
To love others you must love yourself...You can only give to others what you have yourself.
Leo Buscaglia
Value yourself. The only people who appreciate a doormat are people with dirty shoes.
Leo Buscaglia
That's love. That's all it means. It means sharing joy with people.
Leo Buscaglia
Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.
Leo Buscaglia
I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be. You can also stop and say, 'No, I won't do it, I won't behave his way anymore. I'm lonely and I need people around me, maybe I have to change my methods of behaving,' and then you do it.
Leo Buscaglia
It doesn't matter who you have hurt, if you've learned not to hurt again. It doesn't matter what mistakes you've made as long as you don't make them again. As long as you learn, as long as you're willing to take your life in your hands, and kiss it and go from there. Then there is growth. There there is life!
Leo Buscaglia
Only when we give joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means.
Leo Buscaglia
