More quotes by Mother Teresa
I always say if you are afraid of them (the unborn), give them to me. Please, don't kill them.
Mother Teresa
Whatever our religion, we know that if we really want to love, we must first learn to forgive before anything else.
Mother Teresa
The purpose of guilt is to bring us to the Lord, after that it has no purpose.
Mother Teresa
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight build it anyway.
Mother Teresa
Today it is fashionable to talk about the poor. Unfortunately, it is not fashionable to talk with them.
Mother Teresa
A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, and must empty ourselves. Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in his love than in your weakness.
Mother Teresa
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
The more we can give in our silent prayer, the more we can give in our active life.
Mother Teresa
We think we do so much for the poor, but it is they who make us rich
Mother Teresa
I don't think we can do anything more than what we are doing now.
Mother Teresa
Whatever we get from the government or other people - even one rupee we get, we give it to the poor. Completely free service.
Mother Teresa
Riches, both material and spiritual, can choke you if you do not use them fairly. For not even God can put anything in a heart that is already full.
Mother Teresa
Failure is merely feedback that there is something blocking the path of the emergence and expansion of the greatest version of yourself.
Mother Teresa
Do not wait for leaders do it alone, person to person.
Mother Teresa
It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you.
Mother Teresa
The more we empty ourselves, the more room we give God to fill us.
Mother Teresa
Life is beauty, admire it.
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 more you forget yourself, the more Jesus will think of you.
Mother Teresa
I have come to you, Jesus, to take your touch before I begin my day. Let your eyes rest upon my eyes for a while let me take to my work the assurance of your friendship. Fill my mind to last through the desert of noise. Let your blessed sunshine fill the peaks of my thoughts. And give me strength for those who need me.
Mother Teresa
