More quotes by Mitch Albom
The truth is, there is no line. There's only your life, how you mess it up, and who is there to save you. Or who isn't.
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
My own father didn't talk a lot about feelings or emotions.
Mitch Albom
He never spoke of that night again, not to your mother, not to anyone else. He was ashamed for her, for Mickey, for himself. In the hospital, he stopped speaking altogether. Silence was his escape, but silence is rarely a refuge. His thoughts still haunted him.' ~pg 139
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
When you're rotten about yourself, you become rotten to everyone else, even those you love.
Mitch Albom
when your time came, it came, and that was that. You might say something smart on your way out, but you might just as easily say something stupid.
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
Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom
You're not going to fix things by helping 65-year-olds or 75-year-olds for any long run.
Mitch Albom
Kids chase the love that eludes them, and for me, that was my father's love. He kept it tucked away, like papers in a briefcase. And I kept trying to get in there.
Mitch Albom
When you come to the end, that's where God begins.
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
A heart weighs more when it splits in two it crashes in the chest like a broken plane.
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
Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness.
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
but then she did. she died. no more visits, no more phone calls. And without even realizing it, I began to drift, as if my roots had been pulled, as if I were floating down some side branch of a river.
Mitch Albom
Strangers are family you haven't recognize yet
Mitch Albom
For many of us, the curtain had just come down on childhood.
