How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers.
Mother Teresa
Let's do something beautiful for God.
Mother Teresa
Prayer gives us a pure heart and a pure heart can do much.
Mother Teresa
Profound joy of the heart is like a magnet that indicates the path of life.
Mother Teresa
We realize that what we are accomplishing is a drop in the ocean. But if this drop were not in the ocean, it would be missed.
Mother Teresa
I am Albanian by birth. Now I am a citizen of India. I am also a Catholic nun. In my work, I belong to the whole world. But in my heart, I belong to Christ.
Mother Teresa
We must know that we have been created for greater things, not just to be a number in the world, not just to go for diplomas and degrees, this work and that work. We have been created in order to love and to be loved.
Mother Teresa
The trees, the flowers, the plants grow in silence. The stars, the sun, the moon move in silence. Silence gives us a new perspective.
Mother Teresa
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight build it anyway.
Mother Teresa
Any country that accepts abortion is the poorest of the poor
Mother Teresa
Do not worry about why problems exist in the world - just respond to people's needs.
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
At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.
Mother Teresa
May God give back to you in love all the love you have given.
Mother Teresa
Do you want to be great? Pick up a broom and sweep the floor.
Mother Teresa
In vocal prayer we speak to God in mental prayer he speaks to us. It is then that God pours Himself into us.
Mother Teresa
If you have not the experience, ask. There is no shame in asking, but do not pretend you know when you don't.
Mother Teresa
We must free ourselves to be filled by God. Even God cannot fill what is full.
Mother Teresa
I used to pray that God would feed the hungry, or do this or that, but now I pray that he will guide me to do whatever I'm supposed to do, what I can do. I used to pray for answers, but now I'm praying for strength. I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us and we change things.
Mother Teresa
The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty—it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There’s a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.
Mother Teresa
