Happiness and love are just a choice away.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
We need others. We need others to love and we need to be loved by them. There is no doubt that without it, we too, like the infant left alone, would cease to grow, cease to develop, choose madness and even death.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt, but it is the only way to live life completely.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.

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.

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.

Leo Buscaglia

What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
The essence of education is not to stuff you with facts but to help you discover your uniqueness, to teach you how to develop it, and then to show you how to give it away.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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.

I was one of those fortunate individuals who grew up in a large, passionate, demonstrative Italian family where we were taught to love as naturally as we breathed and ate giant bowls of pasta!
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.
