One thing that I ask of you: Never be afraid of giving. There is a deep joy in giving, since what we receive is much more than what we give.
Mother Teresa
Image
You have to do that here in your country. You must come to know the poor. Maybe our people here have material things, everything, but I think that if we all look into our own homes, how difficult we find it sometimes to smile at each other, and that the smile is the beginning of love.
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
you [priests] are called 'another Christ.'
Mother Teresa
Image
We are taught from the very first moment to discover Christ under the distressing disguixe of the poor, the sick, the outcasts. Christ presents Himself to us under every disguise: the dying, the paralytic, the leper, the invalid, the orphan.
Mother Teresa

Failure is merely feedback that there is something blocking the path of the emergence and expansion of the greatest version of yourself.
Mother Teresa
Image
I picked up a man from the street, and he was eaten up alive from worms. Nobody could stand him, and he was smelling so badly. I went to him to clean him, and he asked, 'Why do you do this?' I said, 'Because I love you.'

A day lived without doing something good for others is a day not worth living.
Mother Teresa
Image
If you ever feel distressed during your day - call upon our Lady - just say this simple prayer: 'Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a mother to me now.' I must admit - this prayer has never failed me.
Mother Teresa

If you can't feed 100 just feed ONE.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you.
Mother Teresa
Image
Saints are only sinners who keep trying.
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
Do you want to be great? Pick up a broom and sweep the floor.
Mother Teresa
Image
Faith keeps the person who keeps the faith.
Mother Teresa
Image
What is called generosity is usually only the vanity of giving we enjoy the vanity more. If you can't feed a hundred people, then just feed one.
Mother Teresa
Image
We must make our homes centers of compassion and forgive endlessly.
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.
