Life Quotes Quote by Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“But I do know we’re deficient in some way. We are too involved in materialistic things, and they don’t satisfy us. The loving relationships we have, the universe around us, we take these things for granted.”

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

“Because if you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward.”

“Without love we all like birds with broken wings.”

“Dying is only one thing to be sad over. Living unhappily is something else.”

“There are things you can't walk away from. Not if you want to live with yourself afterward.”

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment”

“The first step to the knowledge of the wonder and mystery of life is the recognition of the monstrous nature of the earthly human realm as well as its glory, the realization that this is just how it is and that it cannot and will not be changed. Those who think they know how the universe could have been had they created it, without pain, without sorrow, without time, without death, are unfit for illumination.”

“Your hand can seize today, but not tomorrow; and thoughts of your tomorrow are nothing but desire. Don’t waste this breath, if your heart isn’t crazy, since "the rest of your life" won’t last forever.”

“If other people do not understand our behavior—so what? Their request that we must only do what they understand is an attempt to dictate to us. If this is being "asocial" or "irrational" in their eyes, so be it. Mostly they resent our freedom and our courage to be ourselves. We owe nobody an explanation or an accounting, as long as our acts do not hurt or infringe on them. How many lives have been ruined by this need to "explain," which usually implies that the explanation be "understood," i.e. approved. Let your deeds be judged, and from your deeds, your real intentions, but know that a free person owes an explanation only to himself—to his reason and his conscience—and to the few who may have a justified claim for explanation.”
