Life Lessons Quote by Mitch Albom — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“We're teaching the wrong things. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it. Create your own.”

“I decided I"m going to live-or at least try to live- the way I want, with dignity, with courage, with humor, with composure.”

“As my visits with Morrie go on, I begin to read about death, how different cultures view the final passage. There is a tribe in the North American Arctic, for example, who believe that all things on earth have a soul that exists in a miniature form of the body that hold it -so that a deer has a tiny deer inside it, and a man has a tiny man inside him. When the large being dies, that tiny form lives on. It can slide into something being born nearby, or it can go to a temporary resting place in the sky, in the belly of a great feminine spirit, where it waits until the moon can send it back to earth.”

“Tell you what. After I'm dead, you talk. And I'll listen.”

“I hope you never hear those words. Your mom. She died. They are different than other words. They are too big to fit in your ears. They belong to some strange, heavy, powerful language that pounds away at the side of your head, a wrecking ball coming at you again and again, until finally, the words crack a hole large enough to fit inside your brain. And in so doing, they split you apart.”

“The more you value yourself, the more you will value your path to success.”

“Without good time management, you will not have the means to succeed in the end.”

“The warmth of company often fades with the glow of possessions. In absence, true connection reveals itself-or disappears”

“Love thy neighbor yes, but love thyself first.”

“At the highest peak of success, you will meet some of those who are filled with envy. They may try to pull you down, but you must choose to hang in there so they can never get to celebrate your downfall.”

“This was my first lesson about gambling: if you see somebody winning all the time, he isn't gambling, he's cheating. Later on in life, if I were continuously losing in any gambling situation, I would watch very closely.”
