Mother Teresa (Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu) Quotes

Often you can see power lines running alongside the street. Unless current is flowing through them, there is no light. The power line is you and I! The current is God! We have the power to allow the current to flow through us and thus to generate the light of the world: JESUS - or to refuse to be used and, thus, allow the darkness to spread.

• You know you have that zealousness of the young person that feels like you can go out and do it all. You know you save the world, save your gente, save women and before you know it if you try to do that you will burn out very quickly.

The point is what can you do personally that you can live with so that you can get up the next morning and have the strength to start it all over again.
