More quotes by Mitch Albom
All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.
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
Never tell a child that something it's too hard
Mitch Albom
Belief, hard work, love–you have those things, you can do anything.
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
You count the hours you could have spent with your mother. It's a lifetime in itself.
Mitch Albom
But fates are connected in ways we don’t understand.
Mitch Albom
Don't let go too soon, but don't hold on too long.
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
Everyone is in such a hurry. People haven’t found meaning in their lives, so they’re running all the time looking for it. They think the next car, the next house, the next job. Then they find those things are empty, too, and they keep running. Once you start running, it’s hard to slow yourself down.
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
once we began to chime the hour, we lost the ability to be satisfied
Mitch Albom
We all have two things in common, no matter who we are: We were born and we are going to die.
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
The most important elements of faith [are] believing in something bigger than yourself, taking care of those less fortunate than you.
Mitch Albom
The secret to happiness...be satisfied and be grateful.
Mitch Albom
A man who can take anything will find most things unsatisfying. And a man without memories is just a shell.
Mitch Albom
Courage is confused with picking up arms and cowardness is confused with laying them down.
Mitch Albom
When you come to the end, that's where God begins.
Mitch Albom
We're Tuesday people.
