More quotes by Mother Teresa
The joy of the presence of Jesus, you must be able to give wherever you go. But you cannot give what you don't have. That's why you need a pure heart, a pure heart that you will receive as a fruit of your prayer, as a fruit of your oneness with Christ.
Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa
Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.

I have never been in a war before, but I have seen famine and death. I was asking (myself) what do they feel when they do this? I don't understand it. They are all children of God. Why do they do it. I don't understand.
Mother Teresa
We must know that we have been created for greater things, not just to be a number in the world, not just to go for diplomas and degrees, this work and that work. We have been created in order to love and to be loved.

When you love till it hurts, there will be no hurt left, just love.
Mother Teresa
