But fates are connected in ways we don’t understand.
Mitch Albom
For many of us, the curtain had just come down on childhood.
Mitch Albom
There's a story behind everything..but behind all your stories is always your mother's story..because hers is where yours begins.

Mitch Albom
Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness.
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
I lived, Dor said, but I was not alive.
Mitch Albom
We need to forgive ourselves. For all the things we didn't do. All the things we should have done. You can't get stuck on the regrets of what should have happened.
Mitch Albom
Giving to other people makes me feel alive. Not my car or my house. Not what I look like in the mirror. When I give my time, when I can make someone smile after they were feeling sad.
Mitch Albom
Death is the end of a lifetime, not the end of a relationship.
Mitch Albom
Faith is about doing. You are how you act, not just how you believe.
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
You marked the minutes, the old man said. But did you use them wisely? To be still? To cherish? To be grateful? To lift and be lifted?
Mitch Albom
One withers, another grows.
Mitch Albom
Are you seeing anyone romantically? he inquired. No, I'm not, she replied. Good. Please keep it that way. Because I intend to ask you to marry me.
Mitch Albom
He cried that night for all that he had lost, but he would say it taught him a valuable lesson: that holding on to things will only break your heart.
Mitch Albom
Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else.
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
Had he known his death was imminent, he might have gone somewhere else. Instead, he did what we all do. He went about his dull routine as if all the days in the world were still to come. ~pg 4
