Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000032956

Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000051710
Strong emotions are present in all people. Without feeling, we would not be human. It's unnatural for man to hide what he's feeling, though if taught to do so, he can learn.

Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000060435

To live in love is life's greatest challenge. It requires more sublety, flexibility, sensitivity, understanding, acceptance, tolerance, knowledge and strength than any other human endeavor. -- Leo Buscaglia
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000090785
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
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000093976
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

As long as you are free, you are free to select and choose alternatives, provided that you are willing to accept the responsibility for being free.

Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000172994
The greatest risk in life is to risk nothing. The Person who risks nothing, has nothing and becomes nothing. -- Leo Buscaglia
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000173148
We want to gently remind people that we don't have forever. In my work, I hear parents complain all the time that their children grow up so fast. But they don't take the time to sit down and talk to each other. The last bastion of getting together is around the table. -- Leo Buscaglia
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000178349
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

but it is the only way to live life completely. -- Leo Buscaglia
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000180160
The lover must often say, "I love because I must, because I will it. I love for myself, not for others. I love for the joy it gives me - and incedentally, only - for that joy it gives to others. If they reinforce me it will be good. If they do not, it also will be good, for I will to love." -- Leo Buscaglia
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000183385
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
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000191829
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
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000218601
You can't imagine the joy I feel when I hear that something I've said or done or written has helped others to regain their sense of dignity, to motivate them to develop their unique
potential, to encourage them to reach out to others in love. -- Leo Buscaglia
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000219678
When we sit at the table, there is more going on than satisfying hunger. It is sad to think of those who eat simply to satisfy their hunger and who do not permit themselves to linger under the many spells offered by a good meal - the satisfaction of our hearts, our minds and our spirits. -- Leo Buscaglia
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000222369

Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000235615
In life and in love, there is only that moment, the NOW. The only reality we know is what we experience this very second. Reality is not what has passed or what has yet to come into being. Grabbing hold of this simple idea makes life magical because it brings love alive. -- Leo Buscaglia
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000238357
Man created words to free himself -- Leo Buscaglia
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000240978
We live in a small world. Not a leaf falls that doesn't affect a myriad of things. When we reach out to someone in love and the effect is made - everyone, everything which comes in contact
with the person we've effected is better for it. Of course, the converse is true, too. -- Leo Buscaglia
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000249994
The person who risk nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live. -- Leo Buscaglia
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000256689
To the extent to which you know yourself, and we are all more alike than different, you can know others. When you love yourself, you will love others. And to the depth and extent to which you can love yourself, only to that depth and extent will you be able to love others. -- Leo Buscaglia
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000257520
I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. -- Leo Buscaglia
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000262601
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
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000277747
Child development: Most damaging course of action is attempting to keep children from experience or protect them from pain, for it is this time that children learn that life is a magic thing, if "not a rose garden." The parent's role is primarily to stand by with a good supply of band-aids. -- Leo Buscaglia
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000281181
It's amazing - you may not realize it, but so much of what you are not is because you are literally standing in your own way of becoming. And what I'm pleading with you about is, get the hell out of your own way. -- Leo Buscaglia
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000287651

Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000331785

Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000338999
In love, each man is his own personal challenge. -- Leo Buscaglia
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000348457

Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000527960
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. -- Leo Buscaglia
Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000540156

Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000674303

Leo Buscaglia Quotes : pic 000975848
