When you love till it hurts, there will be no hurt left, just love.
Mother Teresa

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.
Mother Teresa
-
And if we can accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?
Mother Teresa
-
What you are doing I cannot do, what I'm doing you cannot do, but together we are doing something beautiful for God, and this is the greatness of God's love for us-To give us the opportunity to become holy through the works of love that we do because holiness is not the luxury of the few.
Mother Teresa
-
Failure is merely feedback that there is something blocking the path of the emergence and expansion of the greatest version of yourself.
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.

The highest form of worship is to find the least among you and treat them like Jesus.
Mother Teresa

I know I would not be able to work one week if it were not for that continual force coming from Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
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
-
Suffering will come, trouble will come - that's part of life; a sign that you are alive. If you have no suffering and no trouble, the devil is taking it easy. You are in his hand.
Mother Teresa
-
When you know how much God is in love with you then you can only live your life radiating that love.
Mother Teresa

Self knowledge puts us on our knees, and it is very necessary for love. For knowledge of God gives love, and knowledge of self gives humility
Mother Teresa
-
We must love one another as God loves each one of us. To be able to love, we need a clean heart. Prayer is what gives us a clean heart. The fruit of prayer is a deepening of faith and the fruit of faith is love. The fruit of love is service, which is compassion in action.
Mother Teresa
-
Love is proved by deeds; the more they cost us, the greater the proof of our love.
Mother Teresa
-
I picked up a man from the street, and he was eaten up alive from worms. Nobody could stand him, and he was smelling so badly. I went to him to clean him, and he asked, 'Why do you do this?' I said, 'Because I love you.'
Mother Teresa
-
Your true character Is most accurately measured by how you treat those who can do 'Nothing' for you
Mother Teresa

Lord, help us to accept the pains and conflicts that come to us each day as opportunities to grow as people and become more like you.
Mother Teresa
-
I don't claim anything of the work. It is his work. I am like a little pencil in his hand. That is all. He does the thinking. He does the writing. The pencil has nothing to do with it.
Mother Teresa
-
Keep the joy of loving God in your heart and share this joy with all you meet especially your family. Be holy let us pray.
Mother Teresa
-
A joyful heart is the normal result of a heart burning with love. She gives most who gives with joy.
Mother Teresa

If you're too busy to pray...you're too busy
Mother Teresa

Helping hands are better than Praying Lips
Mother Teresa
-
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
-
Unless a life is lived for others, it is not worthwhile.
Mother Teresa
