More quotes by 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
You need to keep people close. You need to give them access to your heart.
Mitch Albom
But our eyes are different, what you see ain't what I see.
Mitch Albom
And in that line now was a whiskered old man, with a linen cap and a crooked nose, who waited in a place called the Stardust Band Shell to share his part of the secret of heaven: that each affects the other and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one.
Mitch Albom
Small towns are like metronomes with the slightest flick, the beat changes.
Mitch Albom
All I was afraid of is saying good-bye.
Mitch Albom
Heaven can be found in the most unlikely corners.
Mitch Albom
Soon man will count all his days, and then smaller segments of the day, and then smaller still—until the counting consumes him, and the wonder of the world he has been given is lost.
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
This is part of what a family is about, not just love. It's knowing that your family will be there watching out for you. Nothing else will give you that. Not money. Not fame. Not work.
Mitch Albom
We all know how to be a child.
Mitch Albom
You are not your past.
Mitch Albom
The manager once called me the 'best freak' in his stable, and, sad as it sounds, I took pride in that. When you are an outcast, even a tossed stone can be cherished.
Mitch Albom
No, Edward. You are here so I can teach you something. All the people you meet here have one thing to teach you.
Mitch Albom
I don't know what it is about food your mother makes for you, especially when it's something that anyone can make - pancakes, meat loaf, tuna salad - but it carries a certain taste of memory.
Mitch Albom
once we began to chime the hour, we lost the ability to be satisfied
Mitch Albom
sometimes what you miss the most is the way a loved one made you feel about yourself.
Mitch Albom
the running boy is inside every man, no matter how old he gets.
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
Scenery without solace is meaningless.
Mitch Albom
