More quotes by Mother Teresa

Image
The joy of the presence of Jesus, you must be able to give wherever you go. But you cannot give what you don't have. That's why you need a pure heart, a pure heart that you will receive as a fruit of your prayer, as a fruit of your oneness with Christ.
Mother Teresa
Image
People are hungry for God. Do you see that? Quite often we look but do not see. We are all passing through this world. We need to open our eyes and see.
Mother Teresa
Image
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
Mother Teresa
Image
Failure is merely feedback that there is something blocking the path of the emergence and expansion of the greatest version of yourself.
Mother Teresa
Image
The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or sovereign.
Mother Teresa
Image
Peace begins with a smile. I will never understand all the good that a simple smile can accomplish.
Mother Teresa

I am but a small pencil in the hand of a writing God
Mother Teresa
Image
I never looked at the masses as my responsibility. I can only love one person at a time. So I began. I picked up one person. Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand.

Mother Teresa tells a story of walking past an open drain and catching a glimpse of something moving in it. She investigated and found a dying man whom she took back to a home where he could die in love and peace. 'I live like an animal in the streets,' the man told her. 'Now I will die like an angel'.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
The joy of Jesus will be my strength - it will be in my heart. Every person I meet will see it in my work my walk, my prayer - in everything.
Mother Teresa
Image
Only humility will lead us to unity, and unity will lead to peace.
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.

Mother Teresa

Sweetest Lord, make me appreciative of the dignity of my high vocation, and its many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience.

Life's a song,sing it
Mother Teresa

Anybody who helps the poor is delighted. So naturally, they (critics) are not very happy with us.
Mother Teresa

A day lived without doing something good for others is a day not worth living.

Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
