Image
One cannot give what he does not possess. To give love you must possess love. To love others you must love yourself.
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
Education should be the process of helping everyone to discover his uniqueness, to teach him how to develop that uniqueness, and then to show him how to share it because that’s the only reason for having anything.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate, and love is now.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Celebrate your humanness, celebrate your craziness, celebrate your inadequacies, celebrate your loneliness ... but celebrate YOU!
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Experience seems to convince us that only fools trust, that only fools believe and accept all things. If this is true, then love is most foolish. For if it is not founded on trust, belief and acceptance, it's not love.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love is a dynamic interaction, lived every second of our lives, all of our lives.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
We created time, and now we have become the slave of time.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Life is meant to be a celebration! It shouldn't be necessary to set aside special times to remind us of this fact. Wise is the person who finds a reason to make every day a special one.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
We all need to be recognized for what we're doing, for our work. Every once in a while we need someone to come up to us and say, 'You're beautiful. That was well done. That's nice.'
Leo Buscaglia
Image
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
Image
Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time... It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
We are so ruled by what people tell us we must be that we have forgotten who we are.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
People are not here to meet your expectations.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
If one wishes to know love, one must live love, in action.
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.
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.
