More quotes by Mitch Albom
Love each other or die.
Mitch Albom
You can know the whole world and still feel lost in it.
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
You're not going to get to college - you're not even going to be qualified, even to go to a community college, if you don't address the basic problem of literacy in America. And there's no reason - no reason - for us to have that problem.
Mitch Albom
Don't let go too soon, but don't hold on too long.
Mitch Albom
Silence was his escape, but silence is rarely a refuge.
Mitch Albom
As children grow, they gravitate to their fates.
Mitch Albom
For many of us, the curtain had just come down on childhood.
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
Man wants to own his existence. But no one owns time.
Mitch Albom
Something is always happening somewhere.
Mitch Albom
To know you're going to die, and to be prepared for it at any time. That's better. That way you can actually be more involved in your life while you're living.
Mitch Albom
What will you do with the time you have left?
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
We all have two things in common, no matter who we are: We were born and we are going to die.
Mitch Albom
the running boy is inside every man, no matter how old he gets.
Mitch Albom
Have you ever really had a teacher? One who saw you as a raw but precious thing, a jewel that, with wisdom, could be polished to a proud shine?
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
You knew me. You knew that person, but you don't know the person I'm trying to become... You are not your past!
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
