"Like any other living, growing thing, love..." - Quote by Leo Buscaglia

“Forgive others, forgive yourself, forgive yourself for not being perfect, and accept responsibility for your own life.”

“Each of us is responsible for creating an environment of warmth and consideration for those we love. I have always tried to define a good day not in terms of one in which all things were made right and comfortable for me but rather, as a day in which I have been able to make another's day more loving and special for them. We must treat each other with dignity. Not because we merit it but because we grow best in thoughtfulness.”

“We don't love to be loved in return; we love to love.”

“How much reverence has a noble man for his enemies!--and such reverence is a bridge to love.--For he desires his enemy for himself, as his mark of distinction; he can endure no other enemy than one in whom there is nothing to despise and very much to honor! In contrast to this, picture "the enemy" as the man of ressentiment conceives him--and here precisely is his deed, his creation: he has conceived "the evil enemy," "the Evil One," and this in fact is his basic concept, from which he then evolves, as an afterthought and pendant, a "good one"--himself!”

“The most sincere form of love is love for food”

“They who say that we should love our fellow-citizens but not foreigners, destroy the universal brotherhood of mankind, with which benevolence and justice would perish forever.”

“What is there that is illustrious that is not also attended by labor?”

“On occasions when u feel most hopeless, u must take powerful effort. We must persist in face of failure.”

“Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.”
