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.

More quotes by Mitch Albom
Young men go to war. Sometimes because they have to, sometimes because they want to. Always, they feel they are supposed to. This comes from the sad, layered stories of life, which over the centuries have seen courage confused with picking up arms, and cowardice confused with laying them down.

You can know the whole world and still feel lost in it.

I think, in general, the sports I've enjoyed covering the most have been the offbeat ones. The more popular, mainstream, the less I like them because they're more, they're more structured and the players don't have much interesting to say because they're interviewed all the time.
Mitch Albom
Everything man does today to be efficient, to fill the hour? It does not satisfy. It only makes him hungry to do more. Man wants to own his existence. But no one owns time.
Mitch Albom
Critics have a problem with sentimentality. Readers do not. I write for readers.
Mitch Albom
Please, please, please, please, please...,, squeezing his eyes shut because it somehow made the words more pure.
Mitch Albom
One day spent with someone you love can change everything.

Mitch Albom
We all know how to be a child.
Mitch Albom
Remember me for these days, not the old ones.
Mitch Albom
Forgive yourself. Forgive others. Don't wait.
Mitch Albom
I give myself a good cry if I need it. But then I concentrate on the good things still in my life. I don't allow myself any more self-pity than that. A little each every morning, a few tears, and that's all.
Mitch Albom
Sometimes, kids want you to hurt the way they hurt.
Mitch Albom
When death takes your mother, it steals that word forever.
Mitch Albom
The word 'commitment' has lost it's meaning. I'm old enough to remember when it used to be positive. A commited person was someone to be admired. He was loyal and steady. Now a commitment is something you avoid. You don't want to tie yourself down.
Mitch Albom
What you have done to this point cannot be undone. What you do next... It is still unwritten.
Mitch Albom
When you come to the end, that's where God begins.
Mitch Albom
Courage is confused with picking up arms and cowardness is confused with laying them down.
