More quotes by Mother Teresa
Recovering in a Calcutta, India hospital. I think I'm more difficult than critical.
Mother Teresa
If a Hindu wants to find the way to God, he has the right to go to any priest, nun or any other person.
Mother Teresa
So many signatures for such a small heart.
Mother Teresa
Love is not patronizing and charity isn't about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same -- with charity you give love, so don't just give money but reach out your hand instead.
Mother Teresa
Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand.
Mother Teresa
The future is not in our hands. We have no power over it. We can act only today. We have a sentence in our Constitution that says: 'We will allow the good God to make plans for the future - for yesterday has gone, tomorrow has not yet come and we have only today to make Him known, loved and served.' So we do not worry about the future.
Mother Teresa
If you can't feed 100 just feed ONE.
Mother Teresa
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
Mother Teresa
Real prayer is union with God, a union as vital as that of the vine to the branch.
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
O God, how easily I make them happy! Give me strength to be always the light of their lives and so lead them to You!
Mother Teresa
I see God in every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?
Mother Teresa
I have never been in a war before, but I have seen famine and death. I was asking (myself) what do they feel when they do this? I don't understand it. They are all children of God. Why do they do it. I don't understand.
Mother Teresa
If we were able to see God's image in our neighbor, do you think weapons and generals would be needed?
Mother Teresa
Don't expect your friend to be a perfect person. Help your friend to become a perfect person. That is true friendship
Mother Teresa
I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.
Mother Teresa
It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you.
Mother Teresa
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.
Mother Teresa
I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money.
Mother Teresa
you [priests] are called 'another Christ.'
Mother Teresa
