Most Quotable Friday - Leo Buscaglia

Today's quotes are from one of my favorite authors, the lovely Leo Buscaglia... Enjoy!

1. “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.” ― Leo Buscaglia

2. “The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.” ― Leo Buscaglia

3. “Don't hold to anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy and keep you from love.” ― Leo Buscaglia

4.“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.” ― Leo Buscaglia

5. “Don't walk in my head with your dirty feet.” ― Leo Buscaglia, Living Loving and Learning  

6. “I exist, I am, I am here, I am becoming, I make my own life and no one else makes it for me. I must face my own shortcomings, mistakes, transgressions. No one can suffer my non-being as I do, but tomorrow is another day, and I must decide to leave my bed and live again. And if I fail, I don't have the comfort of blaming you or life or God. ” ― Leo Buscaglia, Living Loving and Learning

7. Most of us remain strangers to ourselves, hiding who we are, and ask other strangers, hiding who they are, to love us.” Leo Buscaglia 

8. “It's not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something.May I suggest that it be creating joy for others, sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind, bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely.” ― Leo Buscaglia

Happy Friday!
