Leo Buscaglia Giving Quotations

The only thing of value we can give kids is what we are, not what we have.

One cannot give what he does not possess. To give love you must possess love. To love others you must love yourself.

To love others you must love yourself...You can only give to others what you have yourself.

Time has no meaning in itself unless we choose to give it significance

The most important thing in the world is that you make yourself a loving person, because this is what you will be giving away ...

It is when we ask for love less and begin giving it more that the basis of human love is revealed to us.

You can only give away what you have ... If you have love, you can give it. If you don't have it, you don't have it to give.

When we give ourselves in love we become our most vulnerable. We are never safe. We become open to disappointment and hurt.

The lover must often say, "I love because I must, because I will it. I love for myself, not for others. I love for the joy it gives me - and incedentally, only - for that joy it gives to others. If they reinforce me it will be good. If they do not, it also will be good, for I will to love."

The essence of education is not to stuff you with facts but to help you discover your uniqueness, to teach you how to develop it, and then to show you how to give it away.
