Mother Teresa

“I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.”

“If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.”

“If you give what you do not need, it isn't giving.”

“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”

“It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.”

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.”

“People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.

Love them anyway.

If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives.

Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies.

Succeed anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway.

Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable.

Be honest and transparent anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.

Build anyway.

People who really want help may attack you if you help them.

Help them anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt.

Give the world your best anyway.”

“Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.”

“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.”

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

“To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it.”

“We are all pencils in the hand of God.”

“We can do no great things; only small things with great love.”

“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 such silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.”

“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.”
