I think that before people were speaking much about the poor, but now more and more people are speaking to the poor. That is the great difference.

More quotes by Mother Teresa
We have no salaries. When one says he is from a good Catholic family and says he wants to help us, why should we refuse his offer?
Mother Teresa
If there are poor on the moon, we will go there too.
Mother Teresa
God speaks in the silence of the heart, and we listen. And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart, and God listens. And this listening and this speaking is what prayer is meant to be.
Mother Teresa
If we were humble, nothing would change us-neither praise nor discouragement. If someone were to criticize us, we would not feel discouraged. If someone would praise us, we also would not feel proud.
Mother Teresa
Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God's gift of Himself. Ask and seek and you heart will grow big enough to receive Him and to keep Him as your own. Wherever God has put you, that is your vocation. It is not what we do but how much love we put into it.
Mother Teresa
Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness and that is the hardest part, that's real hunger.
Mother Teresa
God loves the world through us.
Mother Teresa
Whatever our religion, we know that if we really want to love, we must first learn to forgive before anything else.
Mother Teresa
Of all the diseases I have known, loneliness is the worst.
Mother Teresa
God doesn't require us to succeed, he only requires that you try.
Mother Teresa
If you try, you will find it impossible to do one great thing. You can only do many small things with great love.
Mother Teresa
It is not possible to engage in the direct apostolate without being a soul of prayer. We must be aware of oneness with Christ, as he was aware of oneness with his Father. Our activity is truly apostolic only insofar as we permit him to work in us and through us with his power, with his desire, with his love.
Mother Teresa
Abortion kills twice. It kills the body of the baby and it kills the conscience of the mother. Abortion is profoundly anti-women. Three quarters of its victims are women: Half the babies and all the mothers.
Mother Teresa
Let us not use bombs and guns to overcome the world. Let us use love and compassion. Peace begins with a smile-smile five times a day at someone you don't really want to smile at at all-do it for peace. So let us radiate peace...and extinguish in the world and in the hearts of all men all hatred and love for power.
Mother Teresa
God will never, never, never let us down if we have faith and put our trust in Him. He will always look after us. So we must cleave to Jesus. Our whole life must simply be woven into Jesus.
Mother Teresa
Life isn't about the cherished moments it is also about the hard ones. Just knowing each day that you will arise with the bright shining sun in your eyes. And end with the cool breeze upon your face as you slowly reflect the day that passed by.
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
In vocal prayer we speak to God in mental prayer he speaks to us. It is then that God pours Himself into us.
Mother Teresa
Follow the path of serenity. Why lose your temper if by losing it you offend God, trouble your neighbor and in the end have to set things aright anyway?
Mother Teresa
February 1997 - National Prayer Breakfast in Washington attended by the President and the First Lady. What is taking place in America, she said, is a war against the child. And if we accept that the mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another.
