More quotes by 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
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch.
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
Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved we love to love.
Leo Buscaglia
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.
Leo Buscaglia
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.
Leo Buscaglia
Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.
Leo Buscaglia
Happiness is intrinsic, it's an internal thing. When you build it into yourself, no external circumstances can take it away.
Leo Buscaglia
To that there is an answer.
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
What love we've given, we'll have forever.
Leo Buscaglia
Happiness and love are just a choice away.
Leo Buscaglia
Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.
Leo Buscaglia
Education should be the process of helping everyone to discover his uniqueness. -Leo Buscaglia (1924-1998)
Leo Buscaglia
You have choice. You can select joy over despair. You can select happiness over tears. You can select action over apathy. You can select growth over stagnation. You can select you. And you can select life. And it's time that people tell you you're not at the mercy of forces greater than yourself. You are, indeed, the greatest force for you.
Leo Buscaglia
To be is to do, says the existentialist. One only becomes real (human) at the point of action.
Leo Buscaglia
Love revels in and grows in the moment and the joy of the moment.
Leo Buscaglia
The only thing of value we can give kids is what we are, not what we have.
Leo Buscaglia
The most unfortunate thing that happens to a person who fears failure is that he limits himself by becoming afraid to try anything new.
Leo Buscaglia
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
