Helping hands are better than Praying Lips
Mother Teresa

Please don't kill the child. I want the child. Please give me the child. I am willing to accept any child who would be aborted and to give that child to a married couple who will love the child and be loved by the child.

Life's a song,sing it
Mother Teresa
-
We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
Mother Teresa
-
Do ordinary things with extraordinary love.
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
-
A joyful heart is the normal result of a heart burning with love. She gives most who gives with joy.
Mother Teresa
-
Do not let the past disturb you, just leave everything in the Sacred Heart and begin again with joy.
Mother Teresa
-
Our poverty is freedom. This is our poverty - the giving up our freedom to dispose of things, to choose, to possess
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
-
Today somebody is suffering, today somebody is in the street, today somebody is hungry. ... We have only today to make Jesus known, loved, served, fed, clothed, sheltered. Do not wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow we will not have them if we do not feed them today.
Mother Teresa
-
I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.
Mother Teresa
-
We should not serve the poor like they were Jesus. We should serve the poor because they are Jesus.
Mother Teresa
-
We must free ourselves to be filled by God. Even God cannot fill what is full.
Mother Teresa
-
Spread your love wherever you go.
Mother Teresa
-
If you are discouraged it is a sign of pride because it shows you trust in your own power. Your self-sufficiency, your selfishness and your intellectual pride will inhibit His coming to live in your heart because God cannot fill what is already full. It is as simple as that.
Mother Teresa
-
Be faithful in the little things.
Mother Teresa
-
To be pure, to remain pure, can only come at a price, the price of knowing God and loving him enough to do his will. He will always give us the strength we need to keep purity as something as beautiful for him.
Mother Teresa
-
You can find Calcutta all over the world, if you have the eyes to see.
Mother Teresa
-
What you do to these men on California's Death Row, you do to God.
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
-
Where does love begin? In our own homes. When does it begin? When we pray together. The family that prays together stays together.
Mother Teresa
-
Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand.
Mother Teresa
-
Pray for me that I not loosen my grip on the hands of Jesus even under the guise of ministering to the poor.
Mother Teresa
