More quotes by Mother Teresa
It often happens that those who spend their time giving light to others, remain in darkness themselves.
Mother Teresa
I must be willing to give whatever it takes to do good to others. This requires that I be willing to give until it hurts. Otherwise, there is no true love in me, and I bring injustice, not peace, to those around me.
Mother Teresa
Holiness is doing God's will with a smile.
Mother Teresa
Pain and suffering have come into your life, but remember pain, sorrow, suffering are but the kiss of Jesus - a sign that you have come so close to Him that He can kiss you.
Mother Teresa
Faith is a gift of God. Without it there would be no life. And our work, to be fruitful, and to be all for God, and to be beautiful, has to be built of faith. Faith in Christ who has said, I was hungry, I was naked, I was sick, and I was homeless, and you ministered to me! On these words of His all our work is based.
Mother Teresa
The poor are our brothers and sisters ... people in the world who need love, who need care, who have to be wanted.
Mother Teresa
At the heart of silence is prayer. At the heart of prayer is faith. At the heart of faith is life. At the heart of life is service.
Mother Teresa
To God there is nothing small. The moment we have given it to God, it becomes infinite.
Mother Teresa
Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
Mother Teresa
I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' rather he will ask, 'How much love did you put into what you did?'
Mother Teresa
Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness and that is the hardest part, that's real hunger.
Mother Teresa
The point is to do something, however small, and show you care through your actions by giving your time.
Mother Teresa
To fear is to expect punishment. To love is to know we are immersed not in darkness, but in light.
Mother Teresa
Give a glass of water, you give it to me. Receive a little child, you receive me.
Mother Teresa
No matter who says what, you should accept it with a smile and do your own work.
Mother Teresa
We need silence to be able to touch souls.
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
There are only two ways: either we love-and love in action is service - or we put hatred into action and destroy.
Mother Teresa
It is not possible to engage in the direct apostolate without being a soul of prayer. We must be aware of oneness with Christ, as he was aware of oneness with his Father. Our activity is truly apostolic only insofar as we permit him to work in us and through us with his power, with his desire, with his love.
Mother Teresa
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
