Try to put in the hearts of your children a love for home. Make them long to be with their families. So much sin could be avoided if our people really loved their homes.
Mother Teresa
-
There's nothing more calming in difficult moments that knowing there's some one fighting with you.
Mother Teresa
-
When you love till it hurts, there will be no hurt left, just love.
Mother Teresa
-
We have very little, so we have nothing to be preoccupied with. The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give. But the less you have, the more free you are.
Mother Teresa
-
We complicate prayer as we complicate many things. It is to love Jesus with undivided love-for you, for me, for all of us. And that undivided love is put into action when we do as Jesus said, love as I have loved you
Mother Teresa
-
People everywhere are the same; they are all people to be loved. They are all hungry for love.
Mother Teresa
-
The poor give us much more than we give them. They're such strong people, living day to day with no food. And they never curse, never complain. We don't have to give them pity or sympathy. We have so much to learn from them.
Mother Teresa
-
Peace begins with a smile.
Mother Teresa
-
The world today is hungry Not only for bread But hungry for love; Hungry to be wanted, Hungry to be loved.
Mother Teresa
-
Listen in silence because if your heart is full of other things you cannot hear the voice of God
Mother Teresa
-
For me, life is the most beautiful gift of God to mankind, therefore people and nations who destroy life by abortion and euthanasia are the poorest. I do not say legal or illegal, but I think that no human hand should be raised to kill life, since life is God's life in us, even in an unborn child.
Mother Teresa
-
The openness of our hearts and minds can be measured by how wide we draw the circle of what we call family.
Mother Teresa
-
Abortion is murder in the womb...A child is a gift of God. If you do not want him, give him to me.
Mother Teresa
-
Our progress in holiness depends on God and ourselves - on God's grace and on our will to be holy.
Mother Teresa
-
There are two victims in every abortion: a dead baby and a dead conscience.
Mother Teresa
-
They too, are created by the same loving hand of God which Created us...It is our duty to Protect Them and to promote their well-being.
Mother Teresa
-
Am I ever angry or frustrated? I only feel angry sometimes when I see waste, when things that we waste are what people need, things that would save them from dying. Frustrated? No, never.
Mother Teresa
-
I love all religions, but I am in love with my own.
Mother Teresa
-
We pick up people dying full of worms from the street. We have picked up more than 40,000 of them. If I lift up such a person, clean him, love him and serve him, is it conversion? He has been there like an animal in the street but I am giving him love and he dies peacefully. That peace comes from his heart. That's between him and God.
Mother Teresa
-
Yesterday is gone and tomorrow has not yet come; we must live each day as if it were our last so that when God calls us we already, and prepared, to die with a clean heart.
Mother Teresa
-
So many signatures for such a small heart.
Mother Teresa
-
Love cannot remain by itself – it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action and that action is service.
Mother Teresa
-
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.
Mother Teresa
-
My mother and sister must be very happy to be home with God, and I am sure their love and prayers are always with me. When I go home to God, for death is nothing else but going home to God, the bond of love will be unbroken for all eternity.
Mother Teresa
