1. Find the person who will love you because of your differences and not in spite of them and you have found a lover for life.
2. Love is always bestowed as a gift — freely, willingly, and without expectation … We don’t love to be loved; we love to love.
3. Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.
4. The heart is the place where we live our passions. It is frail and easily broken, but wonderfully resilient. There is no point in trying to deceive the heart. It depends upon our honesty for its survival.
5. 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.
6. Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time… It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.
7. Only when we give joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means.
8. Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!
9. Don’t brood. Get on with living and loving. You don’t have forever.
10. Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.
11. What love we’ve given, we’ll have forever. What love we fail to give, will be lost for all eternity.

Excerpt from Wikipedia: Felice Leonardo “Leo” Buscaglia, Ph.D. (31 March 1924 – 12 June 1998)…also known as “Dr Love”… was an author and motivational speaker, and a professor in the Department of Special Education at the University of Southern California. He was a graduate of Theodore Roosevelt High School (Los Angeles). After Navy service in World War II, Buscaglia entered the University of Southern California, where he earned three degrees before joining the faculty. Upon retirement, Buscaglia was named Professor at Large, one of only two such designations on campus at that time.
He gained fame on the USC campus through his non-credit course titled “Love 1A,” which became the basis for his first book, titled simply Love. His dynamic speaking style was discovered by the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) and his televised lectures earned great popularity in the 1980s. At one point his talks, always shown during fund raising periods, were the top earners of all PBS programs. This national exposure, coupled with the heartfelt storytelling style of his books, helped make all of his titles national Best Sellers; five were once on the New York Times Best Sellers List simultaneously.

14. The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another’s, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.

Here’s to the people who gave me life
And then showed me how to live it
And taught me that you measure love
By how freely you can give it
And the gift I give to you
Is the lesson that I learned
That when a love is true
It has nothing in return
Unconditional love, that they gave to me
It wasn’t mine to keep and I knew someday
I’d hand it down to you and hope that I can be
The one who makes you see
The importance of unconditional love
And there were times I know I let them down
But never once was I rejected
And when I stood alone to face this world
Somehow I still felt protected
That’s the common bond we share
And it will last through the years
And you can trust that I’ll be there
Through the good times and the tears
Unconditional love, like they gave to me
It’s not yours to keep and I know someday
Someone will look to you and you will have to be
The one who makes him see
The importance of unconditional love
How one generation Loves, the next generation Learns
My father was a generous, beyond his means … but the greatest gift he gave me, was the Gift of Love.
