Tuesdays with Morrie

Some snippets from the book Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

"dying" was not synonymous with "useless"

“being human” and “relating to others,”

“Accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do”

“Accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it”

“Learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others”

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” - Henry Adams

“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?'”

“Don't assume that it's too late to get involved.”

"living funeral"

“once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.”

"Love each other or perish."

"If you're in bed, you're dead"
