More quotes by Morrie Schwartz
Grieve and mourn for yourself not once or twice, but again and again.
Morrie Schwartz
What's wrong with being number two?
Morrie Schwartz
The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.
Morrie Schwartz
All right, that was my moment with loneliness. I'm not afraid of feeling lonely, but now I'm going to put that loneliness aside and know that there are other emotions in the world, and I'm going to experience them as well.
Morrie Schwartz
We're involved in trillions of little acts just to keep going.
Morrie Schwartz
Once you learn how to die you learn how to live.
Morrie Schwartz
Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel.
Morrie Schwartz
Is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be?
Morrie Schwartz
All younger people should know something. If you’re always battling against getting older, you’re always going to be unhappy, because it will happen anyhow.
Morrie Schwartz
You don't understand. You're not a wave. You're part of the ocean.
Morrie Schwartz
When you look at it that way, you can see how absurd it is that we individualize ourselves with our fences and hoarded possessions.
Morrie Schwartz
Life is like a wrestling match- we struggle to fight but we never know that the only side that wins is the one with great love in it.
Morrie Schwartz
The truth is, part of me is every age. I delight in being a child when it’s appropriate to be a child. I delight in being a wise old man when it’s appropriate to be a wise old man. Think of all I can be! I am every age, up to my own.
Morrie Schwartz
The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it.
Morrie Schwartz
Although you may be old or sick, it's not too late to take stock and ask yourself if you really are the person you want to be, and if not, who you do want to be.
Morrie Schwartz
We think we don't deserve love, we think if we let it in we'll become too soft. But a wise man named Levine said it right. He said. Love is the only rational act.
Morrie Schwartz
There is no experience like having children...If you want the experience of having complete responsibility for another human being, and to learn to love and bond in the deepest way, then you should have children.
Morrie Schwartz
Everyone knows they're going to die, but nobody believes it. If we did we would do things differently. Do what the Buddhists do. Every day, have a little bird on your shoulder that asks, Is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be?
Morrie Schwartz
And, in addition to all the miseries, the young are not wise. They have very little understanding about life. Who wants to live every day when you don't know what's going on? When people are manipulating you, telling you to buy this perfume and you'll be beautiful, or this pair of jeans and you'll be sexy-and you believe them! It's such nonsense.
Morrie Schwartz
Everything that gets born dies.
