With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you're wrong, admit it;
Whenever you're right, shut up.”

“DON'T MISS LOVE. It's an incredible gift. I love to think that the day you're born, you're given the world as your birthday present.”

Leo Buscaglia (1924–1998) Motivational speaker, writer

Speaking Of Love (1980)
Context: DON'T MISS LOVE. It's an incredible gift. I love to think that the day you're born, you're given the world as your birthday present. It frightens me to think that so few people even bother to open up the ribbon! Rip it open! Tear off the top! It's just full of love and magic and joy and wonder and pain and tears. All of the things that are your gift for being human.
