Image
Where there is love, there is joy.
Mother Teresa
Image
To fear is to expect punishment. To love is to know we are immersed not in darkness, but in light.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
Works of love are always to accept and respect others.
Mother Teresa
Image
Let us not use bombs and guns to overcome the world. Let us use love and compassion. Peace begins with a smile-smile five times a day at someone you don't really want to smile at at all-do it for peace. So let us radiate peace...and extinguish in the world and in the hearts of all men all hatred and love for power.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you try, you will find it impossible to do one great thing. You can only do many small things with great love.
Mother Teresa
Image
Give your hands to serve and your hearts to love.
Mother Teresa
Image
Though we are involved in social work, our goal is to be contemplatives at the heart of the world. We are with Jesus twenty-four hours a day. We do everything for Jesus. We do it all unto Jesus.
Mother Teresa
Image
Of all the diseases I have known, loneliness is the worst.
Mother Teresa
Image
I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there.
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
Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway.
Mother Teresa
Image
As for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great, that I look and do not see, — Listen and do not hear — the tongue moves but does not speak … I want you to pray for me — that I let Him have free hand.
Mother Teresa
Image
[West Bengal state] Government has decided that non-criminal persons should not be kept in these kind of places and asked us to take care of them. They should live in an atmosphere of love. They need to be loved.
Mother Teresa
Image
God has created us to love and to be loved, and this is the beginning of prayer-to know that He loves me, that I have been created for greater things.
Mother Teresa
Image
Faith keeps the person who keeps the faith.
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
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.
Mother Teresa

He who is faultless does not care for the opinion of others.
Mother Teresa

More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones.
