God doesn't ask that we succeed in everything, but that we are faithful. However beautiful our work may be, let us not become attached to it. Always remain prepared to give it up, without losing your peace.

More quotes by Mother Teresa
Recovering in a Calcutta, India hospital. I think I'm more difficult than critical.
Mother Teresa
Our progress in holiness depends on God and ourselves - on God's grace and on our will to be holy.
Mother Teresa
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you Be honest and frank anyway.
Mother Teresa
I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.
Mother Teresa
I begin each day with holy Mass, receiving Jesus hidden under the appearance of a simple piece of bread. Then I go out into the streets and I find the same Jesus hidden in the dying destitute, the AIDS patients, the lepers, the abandoned children, the hungry, and the homeless. It's the same Jesus.
Mother Teresa
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
But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself.
Mother Teresa
We do our work for Jesus and with Jesus. It's not a matter of praying some times and working others. We pray the work.
Mother Teresa
The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give. But the less you have the more free you are. Poverty for us is a freedom. It is not mortification, a penance. It is joyful freedom. There is no television here, no this, no that. But we are perfectly happy.
Mother Teresa
If abortion isn't wrong, then nothing is wrong.
Mother Teresa
One thing I ask you to do, you people who have the pen in your hand, allow God to use you so that you never write anything that will destroy, that will hurt, but always take the trouble to write something beautiful, to help the people to see better, to love better, to come closer... to each other.
Mother Teresa
Spread your love wherever you go.
Mother Teresa
Even when the urgent is good, the good can keep you from your best, keep you from your unique contribution, if you let it.
Mother Teresa
What you do to these men on California's Death Row, you do to God.
Mother Teresa
Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
Mother Teresa
At this Christmas when Christ comes, will He find a warm heart? Mark the season of Advent by loving and serving the others with God's own love and concern.
Mother Teresa
When Mother Teresa received the Nobel Prize, she was asked, What can we do to promote world peace? She answered Go home and love your family.
Mother Teresa
Love - the more you share with others, the more you have.
Mother Teresa
Where there is love, there is joy.
Mother Teresa
There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.
Mother Teresa
