More quotes by Morrie Schwartz
If you don’t have the support and love and caring and concern that you get from a family, you don’t have much at all.
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

Morrie Schwartz
Maybe death is the great equalizer, the one big thing that can finally make strangers shed a tear for one another
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
Do I wither up and disappear, or do I make the best of my time left?
Morrie Schwartz
When you learn to die, you learn to live.
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
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
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
If the culture doesn't work, don't buy it.
