I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things
Quote by -Mother Teresa
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives: Be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies: Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank people will try to cheat you: Be honest anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight: Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous of you: Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten by tomorrow: Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough: Give your best anyway

I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us, and we change things
Quote by -Mother Teresa
I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin
Quote by -Mother Teresa
The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give. But the less you have the more free you are. Poverty for us is a freedom. It is not mortification, a penance. It is joyful freedom. There is no television here, no this, no that. But we are perfectly happy

Quote by -Mother Teresa
We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
The problem with the world is that we draw the circle of our family too small
Quote by -Mother Teresa
You will never truly realize God is all you need until He becomes all you have.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
I know I am touching the living body of Christ in the broken bodies of the hungry and the suffering.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the best you’ve got anyway
Quote by -Mother Teresa
We interfere with God’s plans when we push in someone or something else not suitable for us. Be strict with yourself, and then be very strict with what you are receiving from the outside.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
We need to realize that poverty doesn’t only consist of being hungry for bread, but rather it is a tremendous hunger for human dignity. We need to love and to be someone for someone else
Quote by -Mother Teresa
One of the realities we’re all called to go through is to move from repulsion to compassion and from compassion to wonderment.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers
Quote by -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
Quote by -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
Quote by -Mother Teresa
I want you to be concerned about your next door neighbor. Do you know your next door neighbor?
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Abortion kills twice. It kills the body of the baby and it kills the conscience of the mother. Abortion is profoundly anti-women. Three quarters of its victims are women: Half the babies and all the mothers
Quote by -Mother Teresa
If each of us would only sweep our own doorstep, the whole World would be clean
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Death is nothing else but going home to God, the bond of love will be unbroken for all eternity
Quote by -Mother Teresa
There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter. We sometimes lose sight of this force when there is suffering, too much pain. Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
The beginning of prayer is silence. If we really want to pray we must first learn to listen, for in the silence of the heart God speaks. And to be able to see that silence, to be able to hear God we need a clean heart; for a clean heart can see God, can hear God, can listen to God; and then only from the fullness of our heart can we speak to God. But we cannot speak unless we have listened, unless we have made that connection with God in the silence of our heart
Quote by -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?
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.”
Quote by -Mother Teresa
The openness of our hearts and minds can be measured by how wide we draw the circle of what we call family.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
Do we know our poor people? Do we know the poor in our house, in our family? Perhaps they are not hungry for a piece of bread. Perhaps our children, husband, wife, are not hungry, or naked, or dispossessed, but are you sure there is no one there who feels unwanted, deprived of affection?
