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
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
It's not too late to develop new friendships or reconnect with people.
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.
