More quotes by Mother Teresa

Image
I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.
Mother Teresa
Image
Give your hands to serve and your hearts to love.
Mother Teresa
Image
These concerns (for orphan children in India and elsewhere in the world) are very good, but often these same people are not concerned with the millions that are killed by the deliberate decision of their own mothers.
Mother Teresa
Image
The first time I received an award, I was very surprised. I did not know whether to accept it or not. But I came to the conclusion that I should accept awards in the name of the poorest poor, as a form of homage to them. I think that basically, when awards are given to me, the existence of the poor in the world is being recognized.
Mother Teresa
Image
I never look at the masses as my responsibility. I look at the individual. I can love only one person at a time. I can feed only one person at a time. Just one, one, one.
Mother Teresa
Image
In loving and serving, we prove that we have been created in the likeness of God, for God is Love and when we love we are like God.
Mother Teresa
Image
People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway.
Mother Teresa
Image
I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.
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
How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers.
Mother Teresa
Image
Helping hands are better than Praying Lips
Mother Teresa
Image
If our bones were not sending whispers of doubt to our hearts, there would be no need for prayer at all.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is impossible to love God without loving our neighbor.
Mother Teresa
Image
even God could do nothing for someone already full. You have to be completely empty to let Him in to do what He will.
Mother Teresa
Image
Peace begins with a smile. I will never understand all the good that a simple smile can accomplish.
Mother Teresa
Image
Don't expect your friend to be a perfect person. Help your friend to become a perfect person. That is true friendship
Mother Teresa
Image
Love cannot remain by itself - it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action, and that action is service. Whatever form we are, able or disabled, rich or poor, it is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing a lifelong sharing of love with others.
Mother Teresa
Image
Let us not love by words alone, but let us love until it hurts.
Mother Teresa
Image
You may be exhausted with work, you may even kill yourself, but unless your work is interwoven with love, it is useless. To work without love is slavery.
Mother Teresa
Image
Peace and war begin at home. If we truly want peace in the world, let us begin by loving one another in our own families. If we want to spread joy, we need for every family to have joy.
