Image
It often happens that those who spend their time giving light to others, remain in darkness themselves.
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
Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the action that we do.
Mother Teresa
Image
I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself.
Mother Teresa
Image
What is called generosity is usually only the vanity of giving we enjoy the vanity more. If you can't feed a hundred people, then just feed one.
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
Spread love everywhere you go first of all in your house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.
Mother Teresa
Image
The biggest disease today is not leprosy or cancer or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling or being unwanted, uncared for, deserted by everybody. The greatest evil is the lack of love and charity, the terrible indifference towards one's neighbor who lives at the roadside, the victim of exploitation, corruption, poverty, and disease.
Mother Teresa
Image
A joyful heart is like the sunshine of God's love, the hope of eternal happiness.
Mother Teresa
Image
I know I would not be able to work one week if it were not for that continual force coming from Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
Mother Teresa
Image
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence.
Mother Teresa
Image
In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you. Then you will know that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence.
Mother Teresa
Image
If we really want to love, if we really want to live, we must love until it hurts . . . No Rotarian whose motto is Service Above Self, I think, should call himself a Rotarian if he does not make time to serve . . . If we love, we begin to serve
Mother Teresa
Image
By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems.
Mother Teresa
Image
Spread love whenever you go.
Mother Teresa
Image
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight build it anyway.
Mother Teresa
Image
Charity isn't about pity, it is about love.
Mother Teresa
Image
We do our work for Jesus and with Jesus. It's not a matter of praying some times and working others. We pray the work.
Mother Teresa
Image
Look at the cross and you will know what one soul means to Jesus.
Mother Teresa
Image
The fruit of love is service. The fruit of service is peace. And peace begins with a smile.
Mother Teresa
