Trust

"You see," he says to the girl, "you closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too - even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling." - Morrie Schwartz, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

Devotion

"Devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning." - Morrie Schwartz, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

Relationship

"Still," he said, "there are a few rules I know to be true about love and marriage: If you don't respect the other person, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you don't know how to compromise, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you can't talk openly about what goes on between you, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. And if you don't have a common set of values in life, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. Your values must be alike." - Morrie Schwartz, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

Shortsighted

"Look, no matter where you live, the biggest defect we human beings have is our shortsightedness. We don't see what we could be. We should be looking at our potential, stretching ourselves into everything we can become. But if you're surrounded by people who say `I want mine now,' you end up with a few people with everything and a military to keep the poor ones from rising up and stealing it." - Morrie Schwartz, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

Accepting & Forgiving

"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"; "Don't assume that it's too late to get involved." - Morrie Schwartz, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

Meaning Of Life

"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning." - Morrie Schwartz, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

Patience

Patience, not just saying it, but experiencing it.

Limitation

There is a limit to how much one can give. There comes a time when one would want something back in return.
