Mother Teresa Quotes
-
Why can't there be love that never gets tired?
-
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
-
Spread the love of God through your life but only use words when necessary.
-
When you don't have anything, then you have everything.
-
Let us not be afraid to be humble, small, helpless to prove our love for God. The cup of water you give the sick, the way you lift a dying man, the way you feed a baby, the way you teach a dull child, the way you give medicine to a sufferer of leprosy, the joy with which you smile at your own at home - all this is God's love in the world today.
-
You have to do that here in your country. You must come to know the poor. Maybe our people here have material things, everything, but I think that if we all look into our own homes, how difficult we find it sometimes to smile at each other, and that the smile is the beginning of love.
-
I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.
-
There are so many religions and each one has its different ways of following God. I follow Christ: Jesus is my God, Jesus is my Spouse, Jesus is my Life, Jesus is my only Love, Jesus is my All in All; Jesus is my Everything.
-
Smile at each other. Smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other – it doesn't matter who it is – and that will help to grow up in greater love for each other.
-
It is not what to do, but how much love we put into the doing. We can do not greats, only small things with great love.
-
Let us not use bombs and guns to overcome the world. Let us use love and compassion. Peace begins with a smile-smile five times a day at someone you don't really want to smile at at all-do it for peace. So let us radiate peace...and extinguish in the world and in the hearts of all men all hatred and love for power.
-
Christ came to be Father's compassion to the world. Be kind in your actions. Do not think that you are the only one who can do efficient work, work worth showing. This makes you harsh in your judgment of others who may not have the same talents. Do your best and trust that others do their best. And be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
-
God does not demand that I be successful. God demands that I be faithful. When facing God, results are not important. Faithfulness is what is important.
-
Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
-
We must become holy, not because we want to feel holy, but because Christ must be able to live his life fully in us.
-
Love until it hurts. Real love is always painful and hurts: then it is real and pure.
-
I pray that you will understand the words of Jesus, “Love one another as I have loved you.” Ask yourself “How has he loved me? Do I really love others in the same way?” Unless this love is among us, we can kill ourselves with work and it will only be work, not love. Work without love is slavery.
-
Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.
-
I do not agree with a big way of doing things. What matters is the individual. If we wait till we get numbers, then we will be lost in the numbers and we will never be able to show that love and respect for the person.
-
Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand.
-
Put yourself completely under the influence of Jesus, so that he may think his thoughts in your mind, do his work through your hands, for you will be all-powerful with him to strengthen you.
-
Mother Teresa tells a story of walking past an open drain and catching a glimpse of something moving in it. She investigated and found a dying man whom she took back to a home where he could die in love and peace. 'I live like an animal in the streets,' the man told her. 'Now I will die like an angel'.
-
We have not come into the world to be numbered; we have been created for a purpose; for great things: to love and be loved.
-
You know my God. My God is called love.
