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.
Mitch Albom
There is nothing more fun than hanging around with friends and banging on instruments. Anyone who has ever done it knows that this is true.

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
Love each other or die.
Mitch Albom
But our eyes are different, what you see ain't what I see.
Mitch Albom
Love like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with soaking joy. But sometimes, under the angry heat of life, love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending to its roots, keeping itself alive.
Mitch Albom
He did not know that the child who had asked for yesterday was now seeking to own tomorrow.
Mitch Albom
All I was afraid of is saying good-bye.
