More quotes by Mitch Albom
With endless time, nothing is special. With no loss or sacrifice, we can’t appreciate what we have
Mitch Albom
My own father didn't talk a lot about feelings or emotions.
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 think we hear a lot of talk about college, and we don't hear about early education.
Mitch Albom
I find interesting characters or lessons that resonate with people and sometimes I write about them in the sports pages, sometimes I write them in a column, sometimes in a novel, sometimes a play or sometimes in nonfiction. But at the core I always say to myself, 'Is there a story here? Is this something people want to read?'
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
You can be a mama's boy, be a daddy's boy, but you can't be both. So you cling to the one you think you might lose.
Mitch Albom
A heart weighs more when it splits in two it crashes in the chest like a broken plane.
Mitch Albom
We cannot stop what Heaven chooses.
Mitch Albom
One withers, another grows.
Mitch Albom
What is it about childhood that never lets you go, even when you're so wrecked it's hard to believe you ever were a child?
Mitch Albom
Bad news has no limits. We often feel it should, like a rainstorm that can't possibly get any heavier. But a storm can always worsen, & the burdens of life can too.
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
Chicago keeps getting all these complete games. Im expecting 50 cent hot dogs.
Mitch Albom
Don't let go too soon, but don't hold on too long.
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
I never hear anything about education. Education - I guess it's just not sexy enough. And everybody claims to love their children and our children are the most important thing, but if that's the case, how come we never hear more about education as an election issue?
Mitch Albom
You can't get stuck on what should have happened. That doesn't help you.
Mitch Albom
I used to be a classic workaholic, and after seeing how little work and career really mean when you reach the end of your life, I put a new emphasis on things I believe count more. These things include: family, friends, being part of a community, and appreciating the little joys of the average day.
Mitch Albom
Sometimes, they say, the moon is so busy with the new souls of the world that it disappears from the sky. That is why we have moonless nights. But in the end, the moon always returns, as do we all.
