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.

Leo Buscaglia

I've always thought that people need to feel good about themselves and I see my role as offering support to them, to provide some light along the way.

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

Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.

Leo Buscaglia

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.

Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized.

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

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

We all need each other.

What love we've given, we'll have forever. What love we fail to give, will be lost for all eternity.

Leo Buscaglia

I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.

Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.

Leo Buscaglia

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.

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

Leo Buscaglia

If I don't have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance.
