Mitch Albom Quotes

All endings are also beginnings. We just don’t know it at the time.

Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.

The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.

The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.

Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you’re not really losing it. You’re just passing it on to someone else.

Strangers are just family you have yet to come to know.

Sacrifice is a part of life. It’s supposed to be. It’s not something to regret. It’s something to aspire to.

You’re not a wave, you’re a part of the ocean.

If you’re always battling against getting older, you’re always going to be unhappy, because it’s going to happen anyhow.

People are only mean when they’re threatened, and that’s what our culture does. That’s what our economy does.
