Life is a game, play it... Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Mother Teresa
Image
Holiness is not a luxury for the few it is not just for some people. It is meant for you and for me and for all of us. It is a simple duty, because if we learn to love, we learn to be holy.
Mother Teresa
Image
One thing I ask you to do, you people who have the pen in your hand, allow God to use you so that you never write anything that will destroy, that will hurt, but always take the trouble to write something beautiful, to help the people to see better, to love better, to come closer... to each other.

Image
I see God in every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?
Mother Teresa

I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself.
Mother Teresa
Image
I don't think there is anyone who needs God's help as much as I do. Sometimes I feel so helpless and weak. I think that is why God uses me. Because I cannot depend on my own strength, I rely on Him twenty-four hours a day.
Mother Teresa
Image
Hungry not only for bread - but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing - but naked of human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a home of bricks - but homeless because of rejection.
Mother Teresa
Image
To God there is nothing small. The moment we have given it to God, it becomes infinite.
Mother Teresa
Image
The fruit of love is service. The fruit of service is peace. And peace begins with a smile.
Mother Teresa
Image
Every country I love and I am a child of God to love the humans.
Mother Teresa
Image
Pain and suffering have come into your life, but remember pain, sorrow, suffering are but the kiss of Jesus - a sign that you have come so close to Him that He can kiss you.
Mother Teresa
Image
I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.
Mother Teresa
Image
Following Jesus is simple, but not easy. Love until it hurts, and then love more.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
