...the opposite of love is not hate - it's apathy. It's not giving a damn. If somebody hates me, they must feel something ... or they couldn't possibly hate. Therefore, there's some way in which I can get to them.

More quotes by Leo Buscaglia
We all need to be recognized for what we're doing, for our work. Every once in a while we need someone to come up to us and say, 'You're beautiful. That was well done. That's nice.'
Leo Buscaglia
Happiness and love are just a choice away.
Leo Buscaglia
A wonderful realization will be the day you realize that you are unique in all the world. The world is an incredible unfulfilled tapestry, and only you can fulfill that tiny space that is yours.
Leo Buscaglia
God made mud, God made dirt, God made boys so girls could flirt.
Leo Buscaglia

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

Leo Buscaglia

Leo Buscaglia
Education should be the process of helping everyone to discover his uniqueness, to teach him how to develop that uniqueness, and then to show him how to share it because that’s the only reason for having anything.
Leo Buscaglia
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don't over-analyze your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.
Leo Buscaglia
What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.
Leo Buscaglia
We need others. We need others to love and we need to be loved by them.
Leo Buscaglia
The only people who become wealthy by being concerned with the future are insurance companies.
Leo Buscaglia
The life and love we create is the life and love we live.
Leo Buscaglia
Experience seems to convince us that only fools trust, that only fools believe and accept all things. If this is true, then love is most foolish. For if it is not founded on trust, belief and acceptance, it's not love.
Leo Buscaglia
Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.
