More quotes by Mitch Albom
Fairness, does not govern life and death. If it did, no good person would ever die young. ~ The blue man
Mitch Albom
The universe is too grand and harmonious to believe it's all an accident.
Mitch Albom
Whenever you have two characters in a book, whether it's a novel or nonfiction, you run the risk that the reader is going to like one more than the other. They're going to read one chapter and say, 'I can't wait to get back to the other guy.
Mitch Albom
I think we hear a lot of talk about college, and we don't hear about early education.
Mitch Albom
There is everything you know and there is everything that happens. When the two do not line up, you make a choice.
Mitch Albom
You knew me. You knew that person, but you don't know the person I'm trying to become... You are not your past!
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
Sometimes you have to do things when sad things happen.
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
No matter where you live, the biggest defect we human beings have is our shortsightedness. We don't see what we could be.
Mitch Albom
When you're rotten about yourself, you become rotten to everyone else, even those you love.
Mitch Albom
I asked myself, 'Am I going to withdraw from the world, like most people do, or am I going to live?' I decided I am going to live - or at least try to live - the way I want, with dignity, with courage, with humor, with composure.
Mitch Albom
Courage is confused with picking up arms and cowardness is confused with laying them down.
Mitch Albom
You can't get stuck on what should have happened. That doesn't help you.
Mitch Albom
For better or for worse, I've watched people die in front of me. I see how they are in the end. And they're not cynical. In the end, they wanna hold somebody's hand. And that's real to me.
Mitch Albom
But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin.
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
Dor: there is a reason God lmits our days. Victor: why? Dor: to make each one precious.
Mitch Albom
Sacrifice is a part of life. It’s supposed to be. It’s not something to regret. It’s something to aspire to. Little sacrifices. Big sacrifices. A mother works so her son can go to school. A daughter moves home to take care of her sick father.
Mitch Albom
Life is a series of pulls back and forth... A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. Most of us live somewhere in the middle. A wrestling match...Which side win? Love wins. Love always wins
