The trees, the flowers, the plants grow in silence. The stars, the sun, the moon move in silence. Silence gives us a new perspective.

More quotes by Mother Teresa
Nothing makes you happier than when you really reach out in mercy to someone who is badly hurt.
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
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.
Mother Teresa
If you are hungry to hear the voice of God, you will hear. To hear, you have to cut out all other things.
Mother Teresa
We are called upon not to be successful, but to be faithful.
Mother Teresa
I think that before people were speaking much about the poor, but now more and more people are speaking to the poor. That is the great difference.
Mother Teresa
To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
Mother Teresa
Life is not worth living unless it is lived for others.
Mother Teresa
Once that living love is destroyed by contraception, abortion follows very easily.
Mother Teresa
Love should be as natural as living and breathing.
Mother Teresa
Love cannot remain by itself - it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action and that action is service.
Mother Teresa
Therefore, even if you write a letter for a blind man or you must go and sit and listen, or you take the mail for him, or you visit somebody or bring a flower to somebody... it is never too small, for this is our love of Christ in action
Mother Teresa
I think that we in our family don't need bombs and guns, to destroy to bring peace - just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home. And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world.
Mother Teresa
The other day I dreamed that I was at the gates of heaven. And St. Peter said, 'Go back to Earth, there are no slums up here.'
Mother Teresa
I don't think there is anyone who needs God's help as much as I do. Sometimes I feel so helpless and weak. I think that is why God uses me. Because I cannot depend on my own strength, I rely on Him twenty-four hours a day.
Mother Teresa
It is only by frequent deaths of ourselves and our self-centered desires that we can come to live more fully.
Mother Teresa
The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.
Mother Teresa
There are so many religions and each one has its different ways of following God. I follow Christ: Jesus is my God, Jesus is my Spouse, Jesus is my Life, Jesus is my only Love, Jesus is my All in All Jesus is my Everything.
Mother Teresa
Thoughtfulness is the beginning of great sanctity. If you learn this art of being thoughtful, you will become more and more Christ-like, for his heart was meek and he always thought of others. Our vocation, to be beautiful, must be full of thought for others.
Mother Teresa
There is a famine in America. Not a famine of food, but of love, of truth, of life.
Mother Teresa
