"It is when we ask for love..." - Quote by Leo Buscaglia
It is when we ask for love less and begin giving it more that the basis of human love is revealed to us.

“The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow or love. Chained by his certitude, he is a slave; he has forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free.”
“We are born for love, but it will die if not nurtured.”
“Listening is love in action.”
More on Love
“I love that there are others interacting with me.”
“It is one of the great troubles of life that we cannot have any unmixed emotions. There is always something in our enemy that we like, and something in our sweetheart that we dislike.”
“I would rather drown myself in the waters of the Sabarmati than harbour hate or animosity in my heart.”
More on Giving
“What you give to help others, builds them up enough that they are able to give to others. It's a cycle that can continue on long after you're dead and gone.”
“The proper aim of giving is to put the recipient in a state where he no longer needs our gifts...Thus a heavy task is laid upon Gift-love. It must work toward its own abdication. We must aim at making ourselves superfluous. The hour when we can say 'They need me no longer' should be our reward. But the instinct, simply in its own nature, has no power to fulfill this law.”
“The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth you have given away.”
