More quotes by Mother Teresa
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.
Mother Teresa
If a Hindu wants to find the way to God, he has the right to go to any priest, nun or any other person.
Mother Teresa
We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing.
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
Hungry not only for bread - but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing - but naked of human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a home of bricks - but homeless because of rejection.
Mother Teresa
Love has no meaning if it isn't shared. We have been created for greater things - to love and to be loved... To love a person without any conditions, without any expectations. Small things, done in great love, bring joy and peace. To love, it is necessary to give. To give, it is necessary to be free from selfishness.
Mother Teresa
It is not the magnitude of our actions, but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.
Mother Teresa
The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in Heaven, and will help bring about everlasting peace on earth
Mother Teresa
I am busy with my work. My path is clear. I see somebody dying, I pick him up. I find somebody hungry, I give him food. He can love and be loved. I don't look at his color, I don't look at his religion.
Mother Teresa
even God could do nothing for someone already full. You have to be completely empty to let Him in to do what He will.
Mother Teresa
Death, in the final analysis, is only the easiest and quickest means to go back to God. If only we could make people understand that we come from God and that we have to go back to Him!
Mother Teresa
The purpose of guilt is to bring us to the Lord, after that it has no purpose.
Mother Teresa
In light of heaven, the worst suffering on earth, a life full of the most atrocious tortures on earth, will be seen to be no more serious than one night in an inconvenient hotel.
Mother Teresa
As for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great, that I look and do not see, — Listen and do not hear — the tongue moves but does not speak … I want you to pray for me — that I let Him have free hand.
Mother Teresa
Words lead to deeds, they prepare the soul, make it ready, and move it to tenderness.
Mother Teresa
Be faithful in the little things.
Mother Teresa
Spread love everywhere you go first of all in your house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.
Mother Teresa
All that we need to know all the wisdom of the cosmos we will find in our own heart
Mother Teresa
I think that we in our family don't need bombs and guns, to destroy to bring peace - just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home. And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world.
Mother Teresa
Holiness is not a privilege of a few but a need for all.
Mother Teresa
