Image
Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Silence gives us a new outlook on everything. We need silence to be able to touch souls. The essential thing is not what we say but what God says to us and through us.
Mother Teresa
Image
Prayer is the mortar that holds our house together.
Mother Teresa
Image
Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or sovereign. ... You must weep that your own government, at present, seems blind to this truth.
Mother Teresa
Image
There are only two ways: either we love-and love in action is service - or we put hatred into action and destroy.
Mother Teresa
Image
Joy must be one of the pivots of our life. It is the token of a generous personality. Sometimes it is also a mantle that clothes a life of sacrifice and self-giving. A person who has this gift often reaches high summits. He or she is like sun in a community.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
Death, in the final analysis, is only the easiest and quickest means to go back to God. If only we could make people understand that we come from God and that we have to go back to Him!
Mother Teresa
Image
You who have received so much love, show your love by protecting the sacredness of life. The sacredness of life is the greatest gifts that God has given us.
Mother Teresa
Image
Life is a challenge, we must take it.
Mother Teresa
Image
I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.
Mother Teresa
Image
Saints are only sinners who keep trying.
Mother Teresa
Image
You who have received so much love, share it with others. Love others the way that God has loved you, with tenderness.
Mother Teresa
Image
Of all the diseases I have known, loneliness is the worst.
Mother Teresa
Image
By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems.
Mother Teresa
Image
Life is not worth living unless it is lived for others.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Let us love one another as God loves each one of us. And where does this love begin? In our own home. How does it begin? By praying together.
