I trust that God wouldn't give me more than I can handle. I just wish he didn't have such faith in me.
Mother Teresa
Image
Following Jesus is simple, but not easy. Love until it hurts, and then love more.
Mother Teresa
Image
I am busy with my work. My path is clear. I see somebody dying, I pick him up. I find somebody hungry, I give him food. He can love and be loved. I don't look at his color, I don't look at his religion.
Mother Teresa
Image
Dearest Lord, may I see you today and every day in the person of your sick, and, whilst nursing them, minister unto you. Though you hide yourself behind the unattractive disguise of the irritable, the exacting, the unreasonable, may I still recognize you, and say: Jesus, my patient, how sweet it is to serve you.

Death is nothing else but going home to God, the bond of love will be unbroken for all eternity.
Mother Teresa
Image
When you have nothing left but God,you have more than enough to start over again.
Mother Teresa

People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway.
Mother Teresa

We have no salaries. When one says he is from a good Catholic family and says he wants to help us, why should we refuse his offer?
Mother Teresa
Image
I have come to realize more and more that the greatest disease and the greatest suffering is to be unwanted, unloved, uncared for, to be shunned by everybody, to be just nobody.
Mother Teresa
Image
True love is love that causes us pain, that hurts, and yet brings us joy. That is why we must pray to God and ask Him to give us the courage to love
Mother Teresa
Image
The problem with the world is that we draw the circle of our family too small.
Mother Teresa
Image
Because I cannot rely on myself, I rely on Him, twenty-four hours a day.
