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.

Holiness is not a privilege of a few but a need for all.
Mother Teresa

All that we need to know all the wisdom of the cosmos we will find in our own heart
Mother Teresa

If I'd never have picked up the first person, I'd never have picked up the 42,000 in Calcutta.
Mother Teresa

If we were able to see God's image in our neighbor, do you think weapons and generals would be needed?
Mother Teresa
Image
God is everywhere and in everything and without Him we cannot exist.
Mother Teresa
Image
Sweetest Lord, make me appreciative of the dignity of my high vocation, and its many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience.
Mother Teresa
Image
Everything starts from prayer. Without asking God for love, we cannot possess love and still less are we able to give it to others. Just as people today are speaking so much about the poor but they do not know or talk to the poor, we too cannot talk so much about prayer and yet not know how to pray.

When a poor person dies I want then to die in the arms of somebody who loves them. I want them to be able to look for the last time into the eyes of somebody who cares for them

Recovering in a Calcutta, India hospital. I think I'm more difficult than critical.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Riches, both material and spiritual, can choke you if you do not use them fairly. For not even God can put anything in a heart that is already full.
Mother Teresa
Image
Life is beauty, admire it.
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
Mary, my dearest Mother, give me your heart so beautiful, so pure, so immaculate, your heart so full of love and humility, that I may be able to receive Jesus in the Bread of Life, love Him as you loved Hitn and serve Him in the distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor.
Mother Teresa
Image
In light of heaven, the worst suffering on earth, a life full of the most atrocious tortures on earth, will be seen to be no more serious than one night in an inconvenient hotel.
Mother Teresa
Image
There are only two ways: either we love-and love in action is service - or we put hatred into action and destroy.
Mother Teresa
Image
Religion has nothing to do with compassion it is our love for God that is the main thing because we have all been created for the sole purpose to love and be loved.
Mother Teresa
Image
You haven't done the will of God when you have done it miserably.
Mother Teresa
