Change. It has the power to uplift, to heal, to stimulate, surprise, open new doors, bring fresh experience and create excitement in life. Certainly it is worth the risk.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
What love we've given, we'll have forever.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
It's not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Each man lives love in his limited fashion and does not seem to relate the resultant confusion and loneliness to his lack of knowledge about love.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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
Image
...the opposite of love is not hate - it's apathy. It's not giving a damn. If somebody hates me, they must feel something ... or they couldn't possibly hate. Therefore, there's some way in which I can get to them.

Image
What love we've given, we'll have forever. What love we fail to give, will be lost for all eternity.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love and the self are one and the discovery of either is the realization of both.
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.

We created time, and now we have become the slave of time.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
A loving relationship is a wanting to celebrate, communicate, and know another's heart and soul.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
He who remains calm while those around him panic probably doesn't know what's going on.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Like any other living, growing thing, love requires effort to keep it healthy.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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
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.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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
Image
Because you are human, you do have magic. Get in touch with it. When you feel the insanity rising, don't push it down. Let it come out. Just once-and then let me know what happens!
Leo Buscaglia
Image
The only thing of value we can give kids is what we are, not what we have.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
We will only begin to forgive when we can look upon the wrongdoers as ourselves, neither better nor worse. We need to remember that we coexist as mortals in the world, together, the wronged and the wrongdoer, and that, in our common humanity, the situation could readily be reversed.
