More quotes by Mother Teresa
Profound joy of the heart is like a magnet that indicates the path of life.
Mother Teresa
When you love till it hurts, there will be no hurt left, just love.
Mother Teresa
If you are successful, you will win some false friends & some true enemies: Succeed anyway
Mother Teresa
There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.
Mother Teresa
I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' rather he will ask, 'How much love did you put into what you did?'
Mother Teresa
I don't do great things. I do small things with great love.
Mother Teresa
I always say if you are afraid of them (the unborn), give them to me. Please, don't kill them.
Mother Teresa
I want you to find the poor here, right in your own home first. And begin love there. Be that good news to your own people.
Mother Teresa
Spread love everywhere you go first of all in your house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.
Mother Teresa
Don't wait to be led...do it yourself, person to person.
Mother Teresa
You can find Calcutta anywhere in the world. You only need two eyes to see. Everywhere in the world there are people that are not loved, people that are not wanted nor desired, people that no one will help, people that are pushed away or forgotten. And this is the greatest poverty.
Mother Teresa
These concerns (for orphan children in India and elsewhere in the world) are very good, but often these same people are not concerned with the millions that are killed by the deliberate decision of their own mothers.
Mother Teresa
God speaks in the silence of the heart. Listening is the beginning of prayer.
Mother Teresa
Please choose the way of peace.. In the short term there may be winners and losers in this war that we all dread. But that never can, nor never will justify the suffering, pain and loss of life your weapons will cause.
Mother Teresa
We do not need guns and bombs to bring peace, we need love and compassion.
Mother Teresa
You can find Calcutta all over the world, if you have the eyes to see.
Mother Teresa
I am nothing I am but an instrument, a tiny pencil in the hands of the Lord with which He writes what he likes. However imperfect we are, he writes beautifully.
Mother Teresa
Thoughtfulness is the beginning of great sanctity. If you learn this art of being thoughtful, you will become more and more Christ-like, for his heart was meek and he always thought of others. Our vocation, to be beautiful, must be full of thought for others.
Mother Teresa
So many signatures for such a small heart.
Mother Teresa
Holiness consists in doing God’s will joyfully. Faithfulness makes saints. The spiritual life is a union with Jesus: the divine and the human giving themselves to each other. The only thing Jesus asks of us is to give ourselves to him, in total poverty and total self-forgetfulness.
