"If one wishes to know love, one..." - Quote by Leo Buscaglia

“The human need to play is a powerful one. When we ignore it, we feel there is something missing in our lives.”

“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.”

“Knowing that one is always capable of change, the second step lies in making the decision to change. Change does not occur by merely willing it anymore than behavior changes simply through insight.”

“I am writing Parsifal only for my wife - if I had to depend on the German spirit, I should have nothing more to say.”

“But love brings much happiness - much more so than pining brings pain.”

“If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.”

“When you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life. It means fear is no longer a dominant factor in what you do and no longer prevents you from taking action to initiate change. The Roman philosopher Tacitus rightly observed that 'the desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise.' If uncertainty is unacceptable to you, it turns into fear. If it is perfectly acceptable, it turns into aliveness, alertness and creativity.”

“Don’t be overwise; fling yourself straight into life, without deliberation; don’t be afraid - the flood will bear you to the bank and set you safe on your feet again.”

“It's so easy that when you begin you can't stop. You just go on and on doing it always.”
