Mother Teresa

The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.

Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.

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.

Peace begins with a smile.

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.

Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.

Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.

Intense love does not measure, it just gives.

If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.

Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home.

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.

One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.

We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.
