More quotes by Mitch Albom
You're not going to fix things by helping 65-year-olds or 75-year-olds for any long run.
Mitch Albom
I give myself a good cry if I need it. But then I concentrate on the good things still in my life. I don't allow myself any more self-pity than that. A little each every morning, a few tears, and that's all.
Mitch Albom
One day spent with someone you love can change everything.
Mitch Albom
When death takes your mother, it steals that word forever.
Mitch Albom
There is a time for hello and a time for good-bye. It's why the act of burying thing seems natural, but the act of digging them up does not.
Mitch Albom
I often find that I rock back and forth with a beat in my head constantly. If i stop rocking, it usually means I've hit a snag in my writing.
Mitch Albom
The truth is, when our mothers held us, rocked us, stroked our heads -none of us ever got enough of that. We all yearn in some way to return to those days when we were completely taken care of - unconditional love, unconditional attention. Most of us didn't get enough.
Mitch Albom
It's such a shame to waste time. We always think we have so much of it.
Mitch Albom
I give myself a good cry if I need it, but then I concentrate on all good things still in my life.
Mitch Albom
People are only mean when they're threatened, and that's what our culture does. That's what our economy does.
Mitch Albom
If God wants it, it will happen.
Mitch Albom
The secret to happiness...be satisfied and be grateful.
Mitch Albom
I don't mean you disregard every rule of your community. I don't go around naked, for example. I don't run through red lights. The little things, I can obey. But the big things- how we think, what we value- those you must choose yourself. You can't let anyone-or any society- determine those for you. ' -Morrie Schwartz
Mitch Albom
How could he find perfection in such an average day? Then I realized this was the whole point.
Mitch Albom
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
You count the hours you could have spent with your mother. It's a lifetime in itself.
Mitch Albom
People often belittle the place where they were born.
Mitch Albom
I would lying if I said I would laugh in the face of death.
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
We all yearn for what we have lost. But sometimes, we forget what we have.
Mitch Albom
