More quotes by Mother Teresa
I have come to realize more and more that the greatest disease and the greatest suffering is to be unwanted, unloved, uncared for, to be shunned by everybody, to be just nobody.
Mother Teresa
There are others who take up that (liberating) role. I have no time to spend for that.
Mother Teresa
The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty—it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There’s a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.
Mother Teresa
I don't think we can do anything more than what we are doing now.
Mother Teresa
Silence gives us a new outlook on everything. We need silence to be able to touch souls. The essential thing is not what we say but what God says to us and through us.
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
The child is the beauty of God present in the world, that greatest gift to a family
Mother Teresa
I have never had clarity what I have always had is trust. So I will pray that you will trust God.
Mother Teresa
I have told everybody that what we are doing is for the love of God and works of love are always to accept and respect others.
Mother Teresa
Love is proved by deeds the more they cost us, the greater the proof of our love.
Mother Teresa
I choose the poverty of our poor people. But I am grateful to receive it (the Nobel) in the name of the hungry, the naked, the homeless, of the crippled, of the blind, of the lepers, of all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone.
Mother Teresa
A life not lived for others is not a life.
Mother Teresa
I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.
Mother Teresa
Stay very close to Our Lady. If you do this, you can do great things for God and the good of people.
Mother Teresa
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
It is only by frequent deaths of ourselves and our self-centered desires that we can come to live more fully.
Mother Teresa
The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give. But the less you have the more free you are. Poverty for us is a freedom. It is not mortification, a penance. It is joyful freedom. There is no television here, no this, no that. But we are perfectly happy.
Mother Teresa
Life is a challenge, we must take it.
Mother Teresa
Holy living consists in doing God's work with a smile.
Mother Teresa
To fear is to expect punishment. To love is to know we are immersed not in darkness, but in light.
Mother Teresa
