Leo Buscaglia

To love oneself is to struggle to rediscover and maintain your uniqueness

Love and self are one and the discovery of either is the realization of both

Live,love and learn

Risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

Man created words to free himself

...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.

Education should be the process of helping everyone to discover his uniqueness." -Leo Buscaglia (1924-1998)

When man has love he is no longer at the mercy of forces greater than himself, for he, himself, becomes the powerful force

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.

Change is the end result of all true learning.

Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.

A single rose can be my garden; a single friend, my world.

Only when we give joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means.

The hardest battle you are ever going to have to fight is the battle to be just you.

There are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our encouragement, who will need our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give.

Time has no meaning in itself unless we choose to give it significance

The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
