More quotes by Mother Teresa
If I'd never have picked up the first person, I'd never have picked up the 42,000 in Calcutta.
Mother Teresa
More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones.
Mother Teresa
At this Christmas when Christ comes, will He find a warm heart? Mark the season of Advent by loving and serving the others with God's own love and concern.
Mother Teresa
I realized that I had the call to take care of the sick and the dying, the hungry, the naked, the homeless - to be God's Love in action to the poorest of the poor. That was the beginning of the Missionaries of Charity.
Mother Teresa
To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
Mother Teresa
There is a famine in America. Not a famine of food, but of love, of truth, of life.
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
If you are Catholic, and some other person comes to you seeking guidance, naturally you take him straight away to someone who can show him God's love.
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
Holiness is not a privilege of a few but a need for all.
Mother Teresa
The point is to do something, however small, and show you care through your actions by giving your time.
Mother Teresa
The more we empty ourselves, the more room we give God to fill us.
Mother Teresa
The work we do is only our love for Jesus in action...If we pray the work...if we do it to Jesus, if we do it for Jesus, if we do it with Jesus...that's what makes us content.
Mother Teresa
Saints are only sinners who keep trying.
Mother Teresa
If you try, you will find it impossible to do one great thing. You can only do many small things with great love.
Mother Teresa
Holiness does not consist in doing extraordinary things. It consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends us. It consists in accepting and following the will of God.
Mother Teresa
Holiness is not a luxury for the few it is not just for some people. It is meant for you and for me and for all of us. It is a simple duty, because if we learn to love, we learn to be holy.
Mother Teresa
How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers.
Mother Teresa
The greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion, which is war against the child. The mother doesn't learn to love, but kills to solve her own problems. Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want.
Mother Teresa
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.
Mother Teresa
