Quote

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.

More quotes by Mother Teresa

Image
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
Image
Spread your love wherever you go.
Mother Teresa
Image
Saints are only sinners who keep trying.
Mother Teresa
Image
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
Image
Give your hands to serve and your hearts to love.
Mother Teresa
Image
If I'd never have picked up the first person, I'd never have picked up the 42,000 in Calcutta.

Once that living love is destroyed by contraception, abortion follows very easily.
Mother Teresa
Image
Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand.
Mother Teresa
Image
I would rather make mistakes in kindness and compassion than work miracles in unkindness and hardness.
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
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
Image
Abortion kills twice. It kills the body of the baby and it kills the conscience of the mother. Abortion is profoundly anti-women. Three quarters of its victims are women: Half the babies and all the mothers.
Mother Teresa
Image
Prayer gives us a pure heart and a pure heart can do much.
Mother Teresa
Image
God will never, never, never let us down if we have faith and put our trust in Him. He will always look after us. So we must cleave to Jesus. Our whole life must simply be woven into Jesus.
Mother Teresa
Image
We are now in 126 countries. We have 561 houses - tabernacles we call them - and over 4600 nuns. It's simply to serve the poorest of the poor. We are wanted and we have championed those who have nothing, the deprived children of God.
Mother Teresa
Image
You and I, we are the Church, no? We have to share with our people. Suffering today is because people are hoarding, not giving, not sharing. Jesus made it very clear. Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me. Give a glass of water, you give it to me. Receive a little child, you receive me. Clear.
Mother Teresa

The point is to do something, however small, and show you care through your actions by giving your time.
Mother Teresa
Image
When you don't have anything, then you have everything.
Mother Teresa

…Spread your love everywhere you go.

Mother Teresa tells a story of walking past an open drain and catching a glimpse of something moving in it. She investigated and found a dying man whom she took back to a home where he could die in love and peace. 'I live like an animal in the streets,' the man told her. 'Now I will die like an angel'.
