More quotes by Mother Teresa

Image
You have to do that here in your country. You must come to know the poor. Maybe our people here have material things, everything, but I think that if we all look into our own homes, how difficult we find it sometimes to smile at each other, and that the smile is the beginning of love.
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
Let us not love by words alone, but let us love until it hurts.
Mother Teresa
Image
Words lead to deeds, they prepare the soul, make it ready, and move it to tenderness.
Mother Teresa
Image
It often happens that those who spend their time giving light to others, remain in darkness themselves.
Mother Teresa
Image
We belong to each other.
Mother Teresa
Image
I used to pray that God would feed the hungry, or do this or that, but now I pray that he will guide me to do whatever I'm supposed to do, what I can do. I used to pray for answers, but now I'm praying for strength. I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us and we change things.

Image
We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread, but there are many more dying for a little love.
Mother Teresa
Image
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you really love one another, you will not be able to avoid making sacrifices.
Mother Teresa
Image
I want you to find the poor here, right in your own home first. And begin love there. Be that good news to your own people.
Mother Teresa
Image
Jesus has said Come, blessed of my Father, take the seat in the kingdom prepared for you, because I was hungry you gave me food, I was thirsty you have me drink, I was naked you clothed me, I was homeless you took me home and I was sick you visited me. And we are just doing that.
Mother Teresa
Image
A day lived without doing something good for others is a day not worth living.
Mother Teresa
Image
We are now in 126 countries. We have 561 houses - tabernacles we call them - and over 4600 nuns. It's simply to serve the poorest of the poor. We are wanted and we have championed those who have nothing, the deprived children of God.

It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you.
Mother Teresa
Image
Don't wait to be led...do it yourself, person to person.
Mother Teresa
Image
No matter how tired you are, no matter how physically exhausting this work may be, it's beautiful to bring a smile into someone's life, to care for someone in need. What greater joy can there be?
Mother Teresa
Image
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
Mother Teresa

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.

Recovering in a Calcutta, India hospital. I think I'm more difficult than critical.
