Be faithful in small things because it
is in them that your strength lies.
Mother Teresa
Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for,
forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater
poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.
Mother Teresa
Even the rich are hungry for love, for
being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
Mother Teresa
I have found the paradox, that if you
love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
Mother Teresa
I try to give to the poor people for
love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a
thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.
Mother Teresa
I want you to be concerned about your
next door neighbor. Do you know your next door neighbor?
Mother Teresa
If we have no peace, it is because we
have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Mother Teresa
If you can't feed a hundred people,
then feed just one.
Mother Teresa
If you want a love message to be heard,
it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil
in it.
Mother Teresa
Intense love does not measure, it just
gives.
Mother Teresa
Joy is a net of love by which you can
catch souls.
Mother Teresa
Let us always meet each other with
smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
Mother Teresa
Let us more and more insist on raising
funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we
seek first the Kingdom
of God
Mother Teresa
Let us not be satisfied with just
giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts
to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.
Mother Teresa
Let us touch the dying, the poor, the
lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not
be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.
Mother Teresa
Loneliness and the feeling of being
unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
Mother Teresa
Love begins at home, and it is not how
much we do... but how much love we put in that action.
Mother Teresa
Love begins by taking care of the
closest ones - the ones at home.
Mother Teresa
Love is a fruit in season at all
times, and within reach of every hand.
Mother Teresa
Many people mistake our work for our
vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.
Mother Teresa
One of the greatest diseases is to be
nobody to anybody.
Mother Teresa
Our life of poverty is as necessary as
the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for
helping us to love God better because of them.
Mother Teresa
Peace begins with a smile.
Mother Teresa
Spread love everywhere you go. Let no
one ever come to you without leaving happier.
Mother Teresa
The biggest disease today is not
leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.
Mother Teresa
The greatest destroyer of peace is
abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to
kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.
Mother Teresa
The hunger for love is much more
difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
Mother Teresa
The miracle is not that we do this
work, but that we are happy to do it.
Mother Teresa
There must be a reason why some people
can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I
see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use.
Mother Teresa
We need to find God, and he cannot be
found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature -
trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun,
how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
Mother Teresa
We ourselves feel that what we are
doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that
missing drop.
Mother Teresa
We shall never know all the good that
a simple smile can do.
Mother Teresa
We think sometimes that poverty is
only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved
and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to
remedy this kind of poverty.
Mother Teresa
Words which do not give the light of
Christ increase the darkness.
Mother Teresa
