Mother Teresa



“Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Peace begins with a smile.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just wish he didn't trust me so much.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I'm a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' rather he will ask, 'How much love did you put into what you did?”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Live simply so others may simply live.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God - the rest will be given.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in - that we do it to God, to Christ, and that's why we try to do it as beautifully as possible. “

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.”
