There are two victims in every abortion: a dead baby and a dead conscience.
Mother Teresa

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

Life is a challenge, we must take it.
Mother Teresa

Where there is love, there is joy.
Mother Teresa

I feel called to help individuals, to love each human being. I never think in terms of crowds in general but in terms of persons. Were I to think about crowds, I would never begin anything.
Mother Teresa

The future is not in our hands. We have no power over it. We can act only today. We have a sentence in our Constitution that says: 'We will allow the good God to make plans for the future - for yesterday has gone, tomorrow has not yet come and we have only today to make Him known, loved and served.' So we do not worry about the future.

Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity.

You must weep that your own government, at present, seems blind to this truth.

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.

It is only by frequent deaths of ourselves and our self-centered desires that we can come to live more fully.
