Mitch Albom
Critics have a problem with sentimentality. Readers do not. I write for readers.
Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom
If you really could fit God in a file, you wouldn't need to believe in God, you know, you'd just go get the file like a box of corn flakes off the shelf.
Mitch Albom
Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness.
Mitch Albom
You marked the minutes, the old man said. But did you use them wisely? To be still? To cherish? To be grateful? To lift and be lifted?
Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom
You need to keep people close. You need to give them access to your heart.
Mitch Albom
If you could pack for heaven, this was how you'd do it, touching everything, taking nothing.
Mitch Albom
