Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
— Mother Teresa
Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
— Mother Teresa
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.
— 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
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
There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in – that we do it to God, to Christ, and that’s why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.
— Mother Teresa
Joy is prayer; joy is strength: joy is love; joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
— Mother Teresa
I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn’t touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.
— 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
We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.
— Mother Teresa
The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.
— Mother Teresa
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
— Mother Teresa
Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
— Mother Teresa
Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
— Mother Teresa
