You marked the minutes, the old man said. But did you use them wisely? To be still? To cherish? To be grateful? To lift and be lifted?
Mitch Albom
Love each other or die.
Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom
But fates are connected in ways we don’t understand.
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
Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it.
Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom
Kids chase the love that eludes them, and for me, that was my father's love. He kept it tucked away, like papers in a briefcase. And I kept trying to get in there.
Mitch Albom
There's a story behind everything..but behind all your stories is always your mother's story..because hers is where yours begins.
Mitch Albom
Courage is confused with picking up arms and cowardness is confused with laying them down.
Mitch Albom
Time, the Captain said, is not what you think. He sat down next to Eddie. Dying? Not the end of everything. We think it is. But what happens on earth is only the beginning.
Mitch Albom
We’re gonna make up for that. We’re gonna live a long time together.
Mitch Albom
Did you feel guilty cursing God--you, of all people?' No,' he said. 'Because even in doing so, I was recognizing there was a greater power than me.' He paused. And that is how I began to heal.
Mitch Albom
Chicago keeps getting all these complete games. Im expecting 50 cent hot dogs.
Mitch Albom
A memoir should have some uplifting quality, inspiring or illuminating, and that's what separates a life story that can influence other people.
Mitch Albom

For what you have.For the love you receive.And for what God has given you. That's it? He looked me in the eye.Then he sighed deeply. That's it.
Mitch Albom
