I don't think we can do anything more than what we are doing now.
Mother Teresa -
If you are discouraged it is a sign of pride, because it shows you trust in your own powers. Never bother about other people's opinions. Be humble and you will never be disturbed. Remember St. Aloysius, who said he would continue to play billiards even if he knew he was going to die. Do you play well? Sleep well? Eat well? These are duties. Nothing is small for God.

If you are Catholic, and some other person comes to you seeking guidance, naturally you take him straight away to someone who can show him God's love.
Mother Teresa -
In our home (for the dying at Kali Ghat) in Calcutta, there is great peace, unity and love. Many Hindu families bring food, clothing nonstop to our home for the dying. This is an act of love. I didn't ask them. They have only heard about what I am doing and they all come.
Mother Teresa -
A joyful heart is the normal result of a heart burning with love. She gives most who gives with joy.
Mother Teresa -
The time we spend in having our daily audience with God is the most precious part of the whole day.
Mother Teresa -
I am nothing; I am but an instrument, a tiny pencil in the hands of the Lord with which He writes what he likes. However imperfect we are, he writes beautifully.
Mother Teresa -
Brothers, Fathers and Sisters - all of us in the Missionaries of Charity are doing the same. All of us have been created by God to love and to be loved. We are involved in this work. When you do that, there is joy, unity and love.

-
To be able to proclaim the Good News to the poor we must know what is poverty.
Mother Teresa -
Every time I ask for visa, they (USA) give me visa for five years. I have never had any problem in getting a visa to any nation.
Mother Teresa -
Following Jesus is simple, but not easy. Love until it hurts, and then love more.
Mother Teresa -
Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
Mother Teresa -
When you don't have anything, then you have everything.
Mother Teresa -
So many signatures for such a small heart.
Mother Teresa
-
Suffering is nothing by itself. But suffering shared with the passion of Christ is a wonderful gift, the most beautiful gift, a token of love.
Mother Teresa -
Stay very close to Our Lady. If you do this, you can do great things for God and the good of people.
Mother Teresa -
Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God - the rest will be given.
Mother Teresa -
Let us make that one point - that no child will be unwanted, unloved, uncared for, or killed and thrown away.
Mother Teresa -
You can pray while you work. Work doesn't stop prayer and prayer doesn't stop work. It requires only that small raising of the mind to him: I love you God, I trust you, I believe in you, I need you now. Small things like that. They are wonderful prayers.
Mother Teresa -
What you do to these men on California's Death Row, you do to God.
Mother Teresa
-
Our poor people are great people, a very lovable people, They don't need our pity and sympathy. They need our understanding love and they need our respect. We need to tell the poor that they are somebody to us that they, too, have been created, by the same loving hand of God, to love and be loved.
Mother Teresa -
If our poor die of hunger, it is not because God does not care for them. Rather, it is because neither you nor I are generous enough. It is because we are not instruments of love in the hands of God. We do not recognize Christ when once again He appears to us in the hungry man, in the lonely woman, in the child who is looking for a place to get warm.
Mother Teresa -
It is a kingly act to assist the fallen.
Mother Teresa -
What will we answer to Him about that child, that old father and mother, because they are His creation, they are children of God.
Mother Teresa
