Mother Teresa

Faith is more important to me than life itself because without it there would be no fullness of life.
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

If you ever feel distressed during your day - call upon our Lady - just say this simple prayer: 'Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a mother to me now.' I must admit - this prayer has never failed me.

Love cannot remain by itself - it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action and that action is service.
Mother Teresa

You who have received so much love, share it with others. Love others the way that God has loved you, with tenderness.

When you don't have anything, then you have everything.
Mother Teresa

There should be less talk. . . . What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough.
Mother Teresa

Nothing makes you happier than when you really reach out in mercy to someone who is badly hurt.
Mother Teresa

What you do to these men on California's Death Row, you do to God.

There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.
Mother Teresa

Love has no meaning if it isn't shared. We have been created for greater things - to love and to be loved... To love a person without any conditions, without any expectations. Small things, done in great love, bring joy and peace. To love, it is necessary to give. To give, it is necessary to be free from selfishness.
Mother Teresa
