More quotes by Mother Teresa

Image
I have a primary responsibility to myself to make myself into the best person I can possibly be. Then and only then, will I have something worthwhile to share.- I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.
Mother Teresa
Image
Please choose the way of peace.. In the short term there may be winners and losers in this war that we all dread. But that never can, nor never will justify the suffering, pain and loss of life your weapons will cause.
Mother Teresa
Image
To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
Mother Teresa
Image
If I look at the mass I will never act.
Mother Teresa
Image
I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. God is the friend of silence-we need to listen to God because it's not what we say but what He says to us and through us that matters.
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.
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
Every country I love and I am a child of God to love the humans.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.
Mother Teresa
Image
The point is to do something, however small, and show you care through your actions by giving your time.
Mother Teresa
Image
In ... silence we find a new energy and a real unity. God's energy becomes our, allowing us to perform things well.
Mother Teresa
Image
The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.
Mother Teresa
Image
Poverty was not created by God. It is we who have caused it, you and I through our egotism.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must free ourselves to be filled by God. Even God cannot fill what is full.
Mother Teresa
Image
If we can not love the person whom we see, how can we love God whom we can not see?
Mother Teresa
Image
Let's not pray long, drawn-out prayers, but let's pray short ones full of love. Let us pray on behalf of those who do not pray. Let us remember, if we want to be able to love, we must be able to pray!
Mother Teresa
Image
I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us, and we change things.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you really love one another, you will not be able to avoid making sacrifices.
Mother Teresa
Image
O God, how easily I make them happy! Give me strength to be always the light of their lives and so lead them to You!
Mother Teresa
Image
I think that we in our family don't need bombs and guns, to destroy to bring peace - just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home. And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world.
