More quotes by Leo Buscaglia
In the end you have only you.
Leo Buscaglia
Change is the end result of all true learning.
Leo Buscaglia
In order to learn, you have to be free. You have to be free to experiment, free to try, free to make mistakes.
Leo Buscaglia
Education should be the process of helping everyone to discover his uniqueness. -Leo Buscaglia (1924-1998)
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
Don't look over people's shoulders. Look in their eyes. Don't talk at your children. Take their faces in your hands and talk to them. Don't make love to a body, make love to a person.
Leo Buscaglia
There are many miracles in the world to be celebrated and, for me, garlic is the most deserving.
Leo Buscaglia
Why do some people always see beautiful skies and grass and lovely flowers and incredible human beings, while others are hard-pressed to find anything or any place that is beautiful?
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
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
Leo Buscaglia
The hardest battle you're ever going to fight is the battle to be just you.
Leo Buscaglia
Every day we are offered new means for learning and growing in love.
Leo Buscaglia
Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.
Leo Buscaglia
Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt, but it is the only way to live life completely.
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 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
Happiness and love are just a choice away.
Leo Buscaglia
Things omitted are often more deadly than errors committed.
Leo Buscaglia
Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized.
Leo Buscaglia
As soon as the love relationship does not lead me to me, as soon as I in a love relationship do not lead another person to himself, this love, even if it seems to be the most secure and ecstatic attachment I have ever experienced, is not true love. For real love is dedicated to continual becoming.
