More quotes by Leo Buscaglia
Let go. Why do you cling to pain? There is nothing you can do about the wrongs of yesterday. It is not yours to judge. Why hold on to the very thing which keeps you from hope and love?
Leo Buscaglia
Love is always changing and unless we stay aware and change with it, it eludes us.
Leo Buscaglia
Education should be the process of helping everyone to discover his uniqueness. -Leo Buscaglia (1924-1998)
Leo Buscaglia
One cannot give what he does not possess. To give love you must possess love. To love others you must love yourself.
Leo Buscaglia
A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself -- to laugh with me, but never at me to cry with me, but never because of me to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart
Leo Buscaglia
A wonderful realization will be the day you realize that you are unique in all the world. The world is an incredible unfulfilled tapestry, and only you can fulfill that tiny space that is yours.
Leo Buscaglia
Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable. The purpose of life is to matter-to count, to stand for something, to have it make so difference that we lived at all.
Leo Buscaglia
If one wishes to know love, one must live love, in action.
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
Love revels in and grows in the moment and the joy of the moment.
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
Loving yourself involves the discovery of the true wonder of you not only the present you, but the many possibilities of you. It involves the continual realization that you are unique, like no other person in the world, that life is, or should be, the discovery, the development and the sharing of this uniqueness.
Leo Buscaglia
Time has no meaning in itself unless we choose to give it significance
Leo Buscaglia
Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.
Leo Buscaglia
What love we've given, we'll have forever. What love we fail to give, will be lost for all eternity.
Leo Buscaglia
The human need to play is a powerful one. When we ignore it, we feel there is something missing in our lives.
Leo Buscaglia
Only when we give joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means.
Leo Buscaglia
The hardest battle you're ever going to fight is the battle to be just you.
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
