Leo Buscaglia quotes about
powerful play missing
The human need to play is a powerful one. When we ignore it, we feel there is something missing in our lives.
inspirational gifts-and-talents talent
Your talent is God's gift to you.
life hurt mistake
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!
inspirational-love return
We don't love to be loved in return; we love to love.
opportunity men endless-opportunities
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.
second-best
You are the only you ... You are the best you. You will always be the second best anyone else.
joyful tension feels
When we feel joyful, euphoric, happy, we are more open to life, more capable of seeing things clearly and handling daily tensions.
unique joy done
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.
love-life love-is expression
Love is spontaneous and craves expression through joy, through beauty, through truth, even through tears. Love lives the moment; it's neither lost in yesteryear nor does it crave for tomorrow. Love is NOW!
born ifs dies
We are born for love, but it will die if not nurtured.
insanity magic rising
Because you are human, you do have magic. Get in touch with it. When you feel the insanity rising, don't push it down. Let it come out. Just once-and then let me know what happens!
labels away-from-each-other
Labels are distancing phenomena. They push us away from each other.
children play parent
There is a good deal of excellent research on child's play. It has shown conclusively that through play, with the freedom of action it allows and the stressless environment in which it occurs, children discover, relate to and define themselves and their world. ...It is, therefore, paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play.
reading wish action
If one wishes to know love, one must live love, in action. Thoughts, readings and discourse on love are of value only as they present questions to be acted upon.
