“In the developed countries there is a poverty of intimacy, a poverty of spirit, of loneliness, of lack of love. There is no greater sickness in the world today than that one.”

Mother Teresa

“There should be less talk; a preaching point is not a meeting point.  What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house.  That says enough.”

Mother Teresa

“Give, but give until it hurts.”

Mother Teresa

“The less we have, the more we give. Seems absurd, but it's the logic of love.”

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.”

Mother Teresa

“Why can't there be love that never gets tired?”

Mother Teresa

“Since we cannot see Christ, we cannot express our love to Him. But we do see our neighbor, and we can do for him what we would do for Christ if He were visible.”

Mother Teresa

“I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.” 

Mother Teresa

“Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the best you've got anyway.”

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

“If you are humble, nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are. If you are blamed, you won’t be discouraged; if anyone calls you a saint, you won’t put yourself on a pedestal. If you are a saint, thank God; if you are a sinner, don’t remain one. Christ tells us to aim very high, not to be like Abraham or David or any of the saints, but to be like our heavenly Father.”

Mother Teresa

“She knows how to suffer and at the same time how to laugh.”

Mother Teresa

“Our life of contemplation shall retain the following characteristics: —missionary: by going out physically or in spirit in search of souls all over the universe. —contemplative: by gathering the whole universe at the very center of our hearts where the Lord of the universe abides, and allowing the pure water of divine grace to flow plentifully and unceasingly from the source itself, on the whole of his creation. —universal: by praying and contemplating with all and for all, especially with and for the spiritually poorest of the poor.”

Mother Teresa

“We are not called to be successful, but faithful.”

Mother Teresa

“There are no great things, only small things with great love. Happy are those.”

Mother Teresa
