Leo Buscaglia Quotes

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

Love yourself. Accept yourself. Forgive yourself and be good to yourself because, without you, the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.

I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate, it’s apathy. It’s not giving a damn.

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.

Don’t brood. Get on with living and loving. You don’t have forever.

Love yourself-accept yourself-forgive yourself-and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.

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

When love is accompanied with deep intimacy, it raises us to the highest level of human experience. In this exalted space, we can surrender our egos, become vulnerable and know levels of joy and well-being unique among life experiences. We attain a glimpse of the rapture that can be ours. Boundaries are blurred, there are no limitations and we rejoice in union. We become one and, at the same time, both.

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.

You are the only you … You are the best you. You will always be the second best anyone else.
