More quotes by Mitch Albom
Don't let go too soon, but don't hold on too long.
Mitch Albom
Chicago keeps getting all these complete games. Im expecting 50 cent hot dogs.
Mitch Albom
Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone.
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.
Mitch Albom
You have to find what’s good and true and beautiful in your life as it is now. Looking back makes you competitive. And, age is not a competitive issue.
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
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 fact is, there is no foundation, no secure ground, upon which people may stand today if it isn’t the family. If you don’t have the support and love and caring and concern that you get from a family, you don’t have much at all. Love is so supremely important. As our great poet Auden said, ‘Love each other or perish’.
Mitch Albom
Now you know how badly someone wanted you, Charley. Children forget that sometimes. They think of themselves as a burden instead of a wish granted.
Mitch Albom
Well, for one thing, the culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. We're teaching the wrong things. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it. Create your own. Most people can't do it.
Mitch Albom
Don't let our outside labels or how fervent we look or zealous we are or how righteous we seem that's not how you measure yourself against other people. Everyone is a child of God if we really believed that, we'd treat each other better.
Mitch Albom
but then she did. she died. no more visits, no more phone calls. And without even realizing it, I began to drift, as if my roots had been pulled, as if I were floating down some side branch of a river.
Mitch Albom
The news of life is carried via telephone. A baby's birth, a couple engaged, a tragic car accident on a late night highway - most milestones of the human journey, good or bad, are foreshadowed by the sound of a ringing.
Mitch Albom
It was sad, the imbalance of it all. Why do kids assume so much from one parent and hold the other to a lower, looser standard?
Mitch Albom
Accept who you are and revel in it.
Mitch Albom
Sometimes, they say, the moon is so busy with the new souls of the world that it disappears from the sky. That is why we have moonless nights. But in the end, the moon always returns, as do we all.
Mitch Albom
Kids chase the love that eludes them.
Mitch Albom
Please, please, please, please, please...,, squeezing his eyes shut because it somehow made the words more pure.
Mitch Albom
Sticking with your family is what makes it a family.
Mitch Albom
People are only mean when they're threatened, and that's what our culture does. That's what our economy does.
