Image
Each of us is merely a small instrument all of us, after accomplishing our mission, will disappear.
Mother Teresa
Image
Faith is more important to me than life itself because without it there would be no fullness of life.
Mother Teresa
Image
Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
Mother Teresa
Image
For me, life is the most beautiful gift of God to mankind, therefore people and nations who destroy life by abortion and euthanasia are the poorest. I do not say legal or illegal, but I think that no human hand should be raised to kill life, since life is God's life in us, even in an unborn child.
Mother Teresa
Image
Nothing makes you happier than when you really reach out in mercy to someone who is badly hurt.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must never get into the habit of being preoccupied with the future. There is no reason to do so. God is there.
Mother Teresa
Image
In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you. Then you will know that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence.
Mother Teresa
Image
What we say does not matter - only what God says to souls through us.
Mother Teresa
Image
When Christ said: I was hungry and you fed me, he didn't mean only the hunger for bread and for food he also meant the hunger to be loved. Jesus himself experienced this loneliness.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
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
Image
You can find Calcutta all over the world, if you have the eyes to see.
Mother Teresa
Image
Go out into the world today and love the people you meet. Let your presence light new light in the hearts of people.
Mother Teresa
Image
Works of love are always to accept and respect others.
Mother Teresa
Image
People are hungry for God. What [a] terrible meeting [it] would be with our neighbour if we give them only ourselves.
Mother Teresa
Image
O God, how easily I make them happy! Give me strength to be always the light of their lives and so lead them to You!
Mother Teresa
Image
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Be kind to each other. It is better to commit faults with gentleness than to work miracles with unkindness.
Mother Teresa
