Continue To Grow

Posted in Philosophy, Quotes, tagged Dr. Leo F. Buscaglia, Freedom, Growth, Love, Permanency, Philosophy, Quotes on June 6, 2026| Leave a Comment »

When you love someone you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity – in freedom

— Dr. Leo F. Buscaglia

The Lone Ranger’s Creed
(Written by: Fran Striker)

1.	I believe that to have a friend, a man must be one.

2.	That all men are created equal and that everyone has within himself the power to make this a better world.

3.	That God put the firewood there, but that every man must gather and light it himself.

4.	In being prepared physically, mentally, and morally to fight when necessary for that which is right.

5.	That a man should make the most of what equipment he has.

6.	That “this government, of the people, by the people, and for the people,” shall live always.

7.	That men should live by the rule of what is best for the greatest number.

8.	That sooner or later… somewhere… somehow… we must settle with the world and make payment for what we have taken.

9.	That all things change, but the truth, and the truth alone lives on forever.

10.	I believe in my Creator, my country, my fellow man.

[Recited by actor Clayton Moore (the actor who played “The Lone Ranger“) at public appearances.]

[When I was a child, my brother and I would watch this show religiously during its syndicated re-run broadcasts all through the 1960s. — kmab]
