Mother Teresa Quotes
Abortion
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. Mother Teresa
Actions
It is not the magnitude of our
actions but the amount of love that is
put into them that matters. Mother
Teresa Love begins at home, and it is
not how much we do... but how much love
we put in that action. Mother Teresa
Difficult
I think I'm more difficult than
critical. Mother Teresa
Drop
We ourselves feel that what we
are doing is just a drop in the ocean.
But the ocean would be less because of
that missing drop. Mother Teresa
Faith
Be faithful in small things
because it is in them that your strength
lies. Mother Teresa
Faithfulness
I do not pray for success, I ask
for faithfulness. Mother Teresa
Forgotten
Being unwanted, unloved, uncared
for, forgotten by everybody, I think
that is a much greater hunger, a much
greater poverty than the person who has
nothing to eat. Mother Teresa
God's
Trust
I know God will not give me
anything I can't handle. I just wish
that He didn't trust me so much. Mother
Teresa
Hunger
The hunger for love is much more
difficult to remove than the hunger for
bread. Mother Teresa There is more
hunger in the world for love and
appreciation in this world than for
bread. Mother Teresa
Jesus
Each one of them is Jesus in
disguise. Mother Teresa Jesus said love
one another. He didn't say love the
whole world. Mother Teresa Many people
mistake our work for our vocation. Our
vocation is the love of Jesus. Mother
Teresa
Joy
Joy is a net of love by which you
can catch souls. Mother Teresa
Judging
If
you judge people, you have no time to
lov
e them. Mother
Teresa
Just One
If you can't feed a hundred
people, then feed just one. Mother
Teresa
Kind Words
Kind words can be short and easy
to speak, but their echoes are truly
endless. Mother Teresa
Kingdom of God
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. Mother Teresa
Kingly Act
It is a kingly act to assist the
fallen. Mother Teresa
Loneliness
Loneliness and the feeling of
being unwanted is the most terrible
poverty. Mother Teresa Loneliness is the
most terrible poverty. Mother Teresa
Love
Do not think that love, in order
to be genuine, has to be extraordinary.
What we need is to love without getting
tired. Mother Teresa Good works are
links that form a chain of love. Mother
Teresa I am not sure exactly what heaven
will be like, but I don't 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? Mother Teresa
I try to give to the poor people for
love what the rich could get for money.
No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a
thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure
him for the love of God. Mother Teresa
If we 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. Mother Teresa Intense love
does not measure, it just gives. Mother
Teresa Love begins by taking care of the
closest ones - the ones at home. Mother
Teresa Love is a fruit in season at all
times, and within reach of every hand.
Mother Teresa Spread love everywhere you
go. Let no one ever come to you without
leaving happier. Mother Teresa The
success of love is in the loving - it is
not in the result of loving. Of course
it is natural in love to want the best
for the other person, but whether it
turns out that way or not does not
determine the value of what we have
done. Mother Teresa
Miracle
The miracle is not that we do
this work, but that we are happy to do
it. Mother Teresa
Money
Let
us not be satisfied with just giving
money. Money is not enough, money can be
got, but they need your hearts to love
them. So, spread your love everywhere
you go. Mother Teresa
Moving
It is impossible to walk rapidly
and be unhappy. Mother Teresa
Neighbor
I want you to be concerned about
your next door neighbor. Do you know
your next door neighbor? Mother Teresa
Nobody
One of the greatest diseases is
to be nobody to anybody. Mother Teresa
Paradox
I have found the paradox, that if
you love until it hurts, there can be no
more hurt, only more love. Mother Teresa
Peace
If we have no peace, it is
because we have forgotten that we belong
to each other. Mother Teresa
Pencil
We are all pencils in the hand of
God. Mother Teresa I am a little pencil
in the hand of a writing God who is
sending a love letter to the world.
Mother Teresa
Person
to Person
Do
not wait for leaders; do it alone,
person to person. Mother Teresa
Poverty
It is a poverty to decide that a
child must die so that you may live as
you wish. Mother Teresa Our life
of poverty is as necessary as the work
itself. Only in heaven will we see how
much we owe to the poor forhelping us to
love God better because of them. Mother
Teresa 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. Mother
Teresa
Prayer
Sweetest Lord, make me
appreciative of the dignity of my high
vocation, and its many responsibilities.
Never permit me to disgrace it by giving
way to coldness, unkindness, or
impatience. Mother Teresa
Rushing
Everybody today seems to be in
such a terrible rush, anxious for
greater developments and greater riches
and so on, so that children have very
little time for their parents. Parents
have very little time for each other,
and in the home begins the disruption of
peace of the world. Mother Teresa
Silence
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. Mother Teresa
Small Things
We are all pencils in the hand of
God. Mother Teresa
Smile
Everytime you smile at someone,
it is an action of love, a gift to that
person, a beautiful thing. Mother Teresa
Peace begins with a smile. Mother Teresa
Let us always meet each other with a
smile, for the smile is the beginning of
love. Mother Teresa We shall never know
all the good that a simple smile can do.
Mother Teresa
Talk
There should be less talk; a
preaching point is not a meeting point.
What do you do then? Take a broom and
clean someone's house. That says enough.
Mother Teresa
Things
There are no great things, only
small things with great love. Happy are
those. Mother Teresa
Touch
Let us touch the dying, the poor,
the lonely and the unwanted according to
the graces we have received and let us
not be ashamed or slow to do the humble
work. Mother Teresa
Unloved
It is easy to love the people far
away. It is not always easy to love
those close to us. It is easier to give
a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to
relieve the loneliness and pain of
someone unloved in our own home. Bring
love into your home for this is where
our love for each other must start.
Mother Teresa
Unwanted
The biggest disease today is not
leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the
feeling of being unwanted.
Waste
There must be a reason why some
people can afford to live well. They
must have worked for it. I only feel
angry when I see waste. When I see
people throwing away things that we
could use.
Mother Teresa
We
We, the unwilling,led by the
unknowing,are doing the impossible for
the ungrateful. We have done so much,for
so long,with so little,we are now
qualified to do anything with nothing.
Mother Teresa
Words
Words
which do not give the light of Christ
increase the darkness. Mother Teresa
Work
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. Mother Teresa
