Mitch Albom Quotes

Before I Entered The Service, All I Did Was Take Orders. Next Thing I Knew, I Was Giving Them.
Peacetime Was One Thing. Got A Lot Of Wise Guy Recruits. But Then The War Started And The New Men Flooded In- Young Men, Like You- And They Were All Saluting Me, Wanting Me To Tell Them What To Do. I Could See The Fear In Their Eyes. They Acted As If I Knew Something About War That Was Classified. They Thought I Could Keep Them Alive. You Did Too, Didn't You?'
Eddie Had To Admit He Did.
The Captain Reached Back And Rubbed His Neck. 'I Couldn't, Of Course. I Took My Orders, Too. But If I Couldn't Keep You Alive, I Thought I Could At Least Keep You Together. In The Middle Of A Big War, You Go Looking For A Small Idea To Believe In. When You Find One, You Hold It The Way A Soldier Holds His Crucifix When He's Praying In A Foxhole.
For Me, That Little Idea Was What I Told You Guys Every Day. No One Gets Left Behind.
