Tuesdays with Morrie

"The most important thing in life is love."

"Know you will die. Everyone will die."

"You can't make deals with it the way you do in a car lot."

"We're in such a hurry all the time."

"It's hard to take when people pity you. But it's hardest when they don't know how to talk to you anymore."

"When you go to heaven, you're not going to be asked 'how many people did you make rich?'"

"All this emphasis on youth—I don't buy it."

"Forgive yourself before you die. Then forgive others."

"Maybe it's not just how much money you have that makes you happy. Maybe it's how much purpose you have."

"The tension of opposites holds everything together."

"It is impossible for the aging to revolt, because by then the fires have cooled."

"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep."

"We all need people who will give us feedback. That's how we improve."

"Once you fully apprehend that the things you are afraid of can't hurt you, the way opens."

"Accept what you are able to do and strive to do it every day."

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