More quotes by Mother Teresa

Image
Living intensely each present day means letting Christ dwell within you. His words are so clear: Today I would like to enter your home.
Mother Teresa
Image
I feel called to help individuals, to love each human being. I never think in terms of crowds in general but in terms of persons. Were I to think about crowds, I would never begin anything.
Mother Teresa
Image
Be faithful in the little things.
Mother Teresa
Image
Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.
Mother Teresa

There is a tremendous strength that is growing in the world through sharing together, praying together, suffering together, and working together.
Mother Teresa

If we can not love the person whom we see, how can we love God whom we can not see?
Mother Teresa
Image
We must know that we have been created for greater things, not just to be a number in the world, not just to go for diplomas and degrees, this work and that work. We have been created in order to love and to be loved.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must love one another as God loves each one of us. To be able to love, we need a clean heart. Prayer is what gives us a clean heart. The fruit of prayer is a deepening of faith and the fruit of faith is love. The fruit of love is service, which is compassion in action.

To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
Mother Teresa

God does not demand that I be successful. God demands that I be faithful. When facing God, results are not important. Faithfulness is what is important.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
When you love till it hurts, there will be no hurt left, just love.
Mother Teresa
Image
I always say if you are afraid of them (the unborn), give them to me. Please, don't kill them.
Mother Teresa
Image
My secret is simple -- I pray.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is a kingly act to assist the fallen.
Mother Teresa
Image
Life is a game, play it... Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Mother Teresa
Image
All of us must be saints in this world. Holiness is a duty for you and me. So let's be saints and so give glory to the Father.
Mother Teresa

Your true character Is most accurately measured by how you treat those who can do 'Nothing' for you
Mother Teresa
Image
For me, life is the most beautiful gift of God to mankind, therefore people and nations who destroy life by abortion and euthanasia are the poorest. I do not say legal or illegal, but I think that no human hand should be raised to kill life, since life is God's life in us, even in an unborn child.

Do not allow yourselves to be disheartened by any failure as long as you have done your best.
