I also believe that parents, if they love you, will hold you up safely, above their swirling waters, and sometimes that means you'll never know what they endured, and you may treat them unkindly, in a way you otherwise wouldn't.

More quotes by Mitch Albom
Belief, hard work, love–you have those things, you can do anything.
Mitch Albom
My father moved through theys of we, singing each new leaf out of each tree, (and every child was sure that spring danced when she heard my father sing).
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
Hello, Edward. I've been waiting for you.
Mitch Albom
I'm being made aware of my mortality all the time.
Mitch Albom
We do not realize the sound the world makes -- unless, of course, it comes to a stop. Then, when it starts, it sounds like an orchestra.
Mitch Albom
Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness.
Mitch Albom
When someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times.
Mitch Albom
You have peace, the old woman said, when you make it with yourself.
Mitch Albom
Accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do. Accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it. Learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others. Don't assume that it's too late to get involved.
Mitch Albom
Man wants to own his existence. But no one owns time.
Mitch Albom
What's wrong with being number 2?
Mitch Albom
Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else.
Mitch Albom
People are only mean when they're threatened, and that's what our culture does...And when you get threatened, you start looking out only for yourself. You start making money a god. It is all part of this culture.
Mitch Albom
For many of us, the curtain had just come down on childhood.
Mitch Albom
A heart weighs more when it splits in two it crashes in the chest like a broken plane.
Mitch Albom
All I was afraid of is saying good-bye.
Mitch Albom
I used to be a classic workaholic, and after seeing how little work and career really mean when you reach the end of your life, I put a new emphasis on things I believe count more. These things include: family, friends, being part of a community, and appreciating the little joys of the average day.
Mitch Albom
No life is a waste. The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we're alone.
Mitch Albom
There is no formula to relationships. They have to be negotiated in loving ways, with room for both parties, what they want and what they need, what they can do and what their life is like.
