If I'd never have picked up the first person, I'd never have picked up the 42,000 in Calcutta.
Mother Teresa
Image
And if we can accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?
Mother Teresa
Image
It was easier to deal with poverty and death in India that the lack of spirituality in America.
Mother Teresa
Image
In light of heaven, the worst suffering on earth, a life full of the most atrocious tortures on earth, will be seen to be no more serious than one night in an inconvenient hotel.
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
even God could do nothing for someone already full. You have to be completely empty to let Him in to do what He will.
Mother Teresa

Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
Mother Teresa
Image
I trust that God wouldn't give me more than I can handle. I just wish he didn't have such faith in me.
Mother Teresa

A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, and must empty ourselves. Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in his love than in your weakness.
Mother Teresa
Image
I am busy with my work. My path is clear. I see somebody dying, I pick him up. I find somebody hungry, I give him food. He can love and be loved. I don't look at his color, I don't look at his religion.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
We complicate prayer as we complicate many things. It is to love Jesus with undivided love-for you, for me, for all of us. And that undivided love is put into action when we do as Jesus said, love as I have loved you
Mother Teresa
Image
Listen in silence because if your heart is full of other things you cannot hear the voice of God
Mother Teresa
Image
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it
Mother Teresa
Image
Each time anyone comes in contact with us, they must become different and better people because of having met us. We must radiate God's love.
Mother Teresa
Image
To fear is to expect punishment. To love is to know we are immersed not in darkness, but in light.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
Our hours of adoration will be special hours of reparation for sins, and intercession for the needs of the whole world, exposing the sin-sick and suffering humanity to the healing, sustaining and transforming rays of Jesus, radiating from the Eucharist.
Mother Teresa
Image
I see God in every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?
Mother Teresa
Image
Anybody who helps the poor is delighted. So naturally, they (critics) are not very happy with us.
