"The purpose of life is to help..." - Quote by Leo Buscaglia

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

“Nine times out of ten, when you extend your arms to someone, they will step in, because basically they need precisely what you need.”

“If you're an advocate of gentleness, you're simplistic and naive. If you're an advocate of despair and hate, you're sophisticated.”

“The days of life are consumed, one by one, without an object beyond the present moment; ever flying from the ennui of that, yet carrying it with us; eternally in pursuit of happiness, which keeps eternally before us. If death or bankruptcy happen to trip us out of the circle, it is matter for the buzz of the evening, and is completely forgotten by the next morning.”

“I'm sixty-eight years old. What I do now will be read by unborn generations for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years. For me, it's not about my work - that is, it's not about Wayne Dyer's work, how much money I make, how well I do, or how well my products do.”

“I know some people might think it odd - unworthy even - for me to have written a cookbook, but I make no apologies. The U.S. poet laureate Billy Collins thought I had demeaned myself by writing poetry for Hallmark Cards, but I am the people's poet so I write for the people.”

“If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think.”

“Don't try to add more years to your life. Better add more life to your years.”

“An unfulfilled vocation drains the color from a man's entire existence.”
