God doesn't require us to succeed, he only requires that you try.

If you can't feed 100 just feed ONE.

Listen in silence because if your heart is full of other things you cannot hear the voice of God
Mother Teresa

The first time I received an award, I was very surprised. I did not know whether to accept it or not. But I came to the conclusion that I should accept awards in the name of the poorest poor, as a form of homage to them. I think that basically, when awards are given to me, the existence of the poor in the world is being recognized.

The trees, the flowers, the plants grow in silence. The stars, the sun, the moon move in silence. Silence gives us a new perspective.
Mother Teresa
Image
Love cannot remain by itself - it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action and that action is service.
Mother Teresa

Go out into the world today and love the people you meet. Let your presence light new light in the hearts of people.

Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway.

Jesus wants me to tell you again...how much is the love He has for each one of you-beyond all what you can imagine...Not only He loves you, even more - He longs for you. He misses you when you don't come close. He thirsts for you. He loves you always, even when you don't feel worthy.

You can find Calcutta anywhere in the world. You only need two eyes to see. Everywhere in the world there are people that are not loved, people that are not wanted nor desired, people that no one will help, people that are pushed away or forgotten. And this is the greatest poverty.
Mother Teresa

May God give back to you in love all the love you have given.
Mother Teresa

If you want to have world peace, go to your house and love your family.

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

We are now in 126 countries. We have 561 houses - tabernacles we call them - and over 4600 nuns. It's simply to serve the poorest of the poor. We are wanted and we have championed those who have nothing, the deprived children of God.
Mother Teresa
Image
Life isn't about the cherished moments it is also about the hard ones. Just knowing each day that you will arise with the bright shining sun in your eyes. And end with the cool breeze upon your face as you slowly reflect the day that passed by.
Mother Teresa
Image
To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
Mother Teresa
Image
No matter who says what, you should accept it with a smile and do your own work.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
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.

People are hungry for God. What [a] terrible meeting [it] would be with our neighbour if we give them only ourselves.
