Even if I wanted, I cannot do anything. When they die, we always send for their co-religionists. Muslims take the Muslim's body to bury it, Hindus come and take away the dead to be cremated and Christians come and bury their dead.

More quotes by Mother Teresa
Holiness is not a luxury for the few it is not just for some people. It is meant for you and for me and for all of us. It is a simple duty, because if we learn to love, we learn to be holy.
Mother Teresa
Spread love whenever you go.
Mother Teresa
What we say does not matter - only what God says to souls through us.
Mother Teresa
The world today is hungry Not only for bread But hungry for love Hungry to be wanted, Hungry to be loved.
Mother Teresa
My prayer for you is that you come to understand and have the courage to answer Jesus' call to you with the simple word 'yes'.
Mother Teresa
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
If you are Catholic, and some other person comes to you seeking guidance, naturally you take him straight away to someone who can show him God's love.
Mother Teresa
Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.
Mother Teresa
Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home.

Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity.
Mother Teresa
Stay very close to Our Lady. If you do this, you can do great things for God and the good of people.
Mother Teresa
When a poor person dies I want then to die in the arms of somebody who loves them. I want them to be able to look for the last time into the eyes of somebody who cares for them
Mother Teresa
By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems.
Mother Teresa
How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers.
Mother Teresa
Holiness consists of doing the will of God with a smile.
Mother Teresa
Find your own Calcutta. Find the sick, the suffering and the lonely right there where you are.
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
Joy must be one of the pivots of our life. It is the token of a generous personality. Sometimes it is also a mantle that clothes a life of sacrifice and self-giving. A person who has this gift often reaches high summits. He or she is like sun in a community.
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
Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.
Mother Teresa
