One thing that I ask of you: Never be afraid of giving. There is a deep joy in giving, since what we receive is much more than what we give.
Mother Teresa

The Cross will be for us as it was for Christ: proof of the greatest love.
Mother Teresa

All that we need to know all the wisdom of the cosmos we will find in our own heart
Mother Teresa
Image
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us.
Mother Teresa
Image
I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself.
Mother Teresa
Image
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

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
Image
I have come to you, Jesus, to take your touch before I begin my day. Let your eyes rest upon my eyes for a while let me take to my work the assurance of your friendship. Fill my mind to last through the desert of noise. Let your blessed sunshine fill the peaks of my thoughts. And give me strength for those who need me.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love is not patronizing and charity isn't about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same -- with charity you give love, so don't just give money but reach out your hand instead.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love has a hem to her garment that reaches to the very dust. It sweeps the stains from the streets and lanes, and because it can, it must.
Mother Teresa
Image
We belong to each other.
Mother Teresa
Image
I still think that the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, just having no one... That is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience.
Mother Teresa
Image
Jesus has said Come, blessed of my Father, take the seat in the kingdom prepared for you, because I was hungry you gave me food, I was thirsty you have me drink, I was naked you clothed me, I was homeless you took me home and I was sick you visited me. And we are just doing that.
Mother Teresa

Death is nothing else but going home to God, the bond of love will be unbroken for all eternity.
Mother Teresa

In the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway.
Mother Teresa

No matter how tired you are, no matter how physically exhausting this work may be, it's beautiful to bring a smile into someone's life, to care for someone in need. What greater joy can there be?
