More quotes by Mitch Albom
First and foremost, I would put a massive national emphasis on illiteracy with real markers that you could measure and real efforts to do a one-on-one kind of tutoring until kids can get up to snuff on that.
Mitch Albom
We are too involved in materialistic things, and they don't satisfy us. The loving relationships we have, the universe around us, we take these things for granted.
Mitch Albom
Life goes quickly, doesn't it?
Mitch Albom
My father moved through theys of we, singing each new leaf out of each tree, (and every child was sure that spring danced when she heard my father sing).
Mitch Albom
You have peace, the old woman said, when you make it with yourself.
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
You know what that reflects? Unsatisfied lives. Unfulfilled lives. Lives that haven't found meaning . Because if you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward. You want to see more, do more. You can't wait until sixty-five.
Mitch Albom
People are only mean when they're threatened, and that's what our culture does...And when you get threatened, you start looking out only for yourself. You start making money a god. It is all part of this culture.
Mitch Albom
the running boy is inside every man, no matter how old he gets.
Mitch Albom
Detroit is a place where we've had it pretty tough. But there is a generosity here and a well of kindness that goes deep.
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
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
Scenery without solace is meaningless.
Mitch Albom
I lived, Dor said, but I was not alive.
Mitch Albom
Life has to end, love doesn't.
Mitch Albom
Sometimes you have to do things when sad things happen.
Mitch Albom
You're not listening with your eyes.
Mitch Albom
I feel ashamed now that I tried to take my life. It is such a precious thing. I had no one to talk me out of my despair and that was a mistake. You need to keep people close. You need to give them access to your heart.
Mitch Albom
Critics have a problem with sentimentality. Readers do not. I write for readers.
Mitch Albom
Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do somehing else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.
