More quotes by Mitch Albom
When hope is gone, time is punishment.
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
You are not your past.

But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin.
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
Whenever you have two characters in a book, whether it's a novel or nonfiction, you run the risk that the reader is going to like one more than the other. They're going to read one chapter and say, 'I can't wait to get back to the other guy.
Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom
We all know how to be a child.
Mitch Albom
Happiness in a tablet. This is our world. Prozac. Daxil. Xanax. Billions are spent to advertise such drugs. And billions are spent purchasing them. You don't even need a specific trauma, just 'general depression' is enough, or anxiety, as if sadness is as treatable as the common cold.
Mitch Albom
If you're always battling against getting older, you're always going to be unhappy, because it's going to happen anyhow.
Mitch Albom
With endless time, nothing is special. With no loss or sacrifice, we can’t appreciate what we have
Mitch Albom
I traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck, and I never even realized I was doing it.
Mitch Albom
She had been so consumed with escaping her own misery, she hadn't considered the misery she might inflict.
