The fact is, there is no foundation, no secure ground, upon which people may stand today if it isn’t the family. If you don’t have the support and love and caring and concern that you get from a family, you don’t have much at all. Love is so supremely important. As our great poet Auden said, ‘Love each other or perish’.

Mitch Albom
when your time came, it came, and that was that. You might say something smart on your way out, but you might just as easily say something stupid.
Mitch Albom
No one gets left behind, remember?
Mitch Albom
Sharing tales of those we've lost is how we keep from really losing them.
Mitch Albom
The truth is, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.
Mitch Albom
We need to forgive ourselves. For all the things we didn't do. All the things we should have done. You can't get stuck on the regrets of what should have happened.
Mitch Albom
Learn what you do not know. Understand the consequences of counting the moments.
Mitch Albom
Being here in Detroit, our public education in this city is - it's shocking. And the oversight of it and the oversight of the teachers and the funding is nonexistent, and the priority that's put on it is so low.
Mitch Albom
Silence is worse when you know it won't be broken.
Mitch Albom
You can know the whole world and still feel lost in it.
Mitch Albom
I think we hear a lot of talk about college, and we don't hear about early education.
