More quotes by Mother Teresa

Image
It is only by frequent deaths of ourselves and our self-centered desires that we can come to live more fully.
Mother Teresa
Image
Keep your heart pure. A pure heart is necessary to see God in each other. If you see God in each other, there is love for each other, then there is peace.
Mother Teresa
Image
I never looked at the masses as my responsibility. I can only love one person at a time. So I began. I picked up one person. Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand.
Mother Teresa
Image
Holiness does not consist in doing extraordinary things. It consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends us. It consists in accepting and following the will of God.
Mother Teresa
Image
Peace begins with a smile. I will never understand all the good that a simple smile can accomplish.
Mother Teresa
Image
Life is not worth living unless it is lived for others.
Mother Teresa

Listen in silence because if your heart is full of other things you cannot hear the voice of God
Mother Teresa

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.
Mother Teresa
Image
Suffering, if it is accepted together, borne together, is joy.
Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa
Image
Joy is very infectious therefore, be always full of joy!
Mother Teresa
Image
To God there is nothing small. The moment we have given it to God, it becomes infinite.
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
Silence came before creation, and the heavens were spread without a word
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
Image
Brothers, Fathers and Sisters - all of us in the Missionaries of Charity are doing the same. All of us have been created by God to love and to be loved. We are involved in this work. When you do that, there is joy, unity and love.
Mother Teresa
Image
If I can give you any advice, I beg you to get closer to the Eucharist and to Jesus... We must pray to Jesus to give us that tenderness of the Eucharist.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must never be afraid to be a sign of contradiction for the world.
Mother Teresa
