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.

More quotes by Mother Teresa
Holiness is doing God's will with a smile.
Mother Teresa
A joyful heart is like the sunshine of God's love, the hope of eternal happiness.
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
It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you.
Mother Teresa
Brothers, Fathers and Sisters - all of us in the Missionaries of Charity are doing the same. All of us have been created by God to love and to be loved. We are involved in this work. When you do that, there is joy, unity and love.
Mother Teresa

I see Jesus in every human being. I say to myself, this is hungry Jesus, I must feed him. This is sick Jesus. This one has leprosy or gangrene I must wash him and tend to him. I serve becuase I love Jesus.
Mother Teresa
Let us not use bombs and guns to overcome the world. Let us use love and compassion. Peace begins with a smile-smile five times a day at someone you don't really want to smile at at all-do it for peace. So let us radiate peace...and extinguish in the world and in the hearts of all men all hatred and love for power.
Mother Teresa
It is a just retribution for improper sexual misconduct
Mother Teresa
I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.
Mother Teresa
We think we do so much for the poor, but it is they who make us rich
Mother Teresa
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence.
