No matter who says what, you should accept it with a smile and do your own work.
Mother Teresa -
The poverty of the West is far more difficult to solve than the poverty of India.
Mother Teresa
-
Life is not worth living unless it is lived for others.
Mother Teresa -
You can and you must expect suffering.
Mother Teresa -
Unless a life is lived for others, it is not worthwhile.
Mother Teresa -
Faith in action is love, and love in action is service. By transforming that faith into living acts of love, we put ourselves in contact with God Himself, with Jesus our Lord.
Mother Teresa -
No matter how tired you are, no matter how physically exhausting this work may be, it's beautiful to bring a smile into someone's life, to care for someone in need. What greater joy can there be?
Mother Teresa -
I am sure that all people know deep down inside that the little child in the mother's womb is a human being from the moment of conception, created in the image of God to love and be loved. Let us pray that nobody will be afraid to protect that little child, to help that little child to be born. Jesus said: 'If you receive a little child in my name, you receive me.'

The first step to becoming is to will it.
Mother Teresa -
Thank God we don't serve God with our feelings, otherwise I don't know where I would be. - Pray for me.
Mother Teresa -
America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men.
Mother Teresa -
Let's not pray long, drawn-out prayers, but let's pray short ones full of love. Let us pray on behalf of those who do not pray. Let us remember, if we want to be able to love, we must be able to pray!
Mother Teresa -
The fullness of our heart is expressed in our eyes, in our touch, in what we write, in what we say, in the way we walk, the way we receive, the way we serve.
Mother Teresa -
Silence gives us a new way of looking at something.
Mother Teresa
-
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.
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 -
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.
Mother Teresa -
Your true character Is most accurately measured by how you treat those who can do 'Nothing' for you
Mother Teresa -
Good works are links that form a chain of love" Mother Theresa
Mother Teresa -
There are two victims in every abortion: a dead baby and a dead conscience.
Mother Teresa
-
If we remember that God loves us, and that we can love others as He loves us, then America can become a sign of peace for the world. From here, a sign of care for the weakest of the weak - the unborn child - must go out to the world. If you become a burning light of justice and peace in the world, then really you will be true to what the founders of this country stood for. God bless you!
Mother Teresa -
You must give what will cost you something. This, then, is not just giving what you can live without but what you can't live without or don't want to live without, something you really like. Then your gift becomes a sacrifice, which will have value before God. Any sacrifice is useful if it is done out of love. This giving until it hurts - this sacrifice - is what I call love in action.
Mother Teresa -
Why can't there be love that never gets tired?
Mother Teresa -
We must love prayer. It widens the heart to the point of making it capable of containing the gift that God makes of himself. Ask and seek, and your heart will be widened to welcome him and to keep him within itself.
Mother Teresa
