“He has told us that He is the hungry one. He is the naked one. He is the thirsty one. He is the one without a home. He is the one who is suffering. These are our treasures, she said, looking at the rows of pallets in the caravanserai. They are Jesus.”

Mother Teresa

“If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.”

Mother Teresa

“We learn humility through accepting humiliations cheerfully.”

Mother Teresa

“In the West we have a tendency to be profit-oriented, where everything is measured according to the results and we get caught up in being more and more active to generate results. In the East -- especially in India -- I find that people are more content to just be, to just sit around under a banyan tree for half a day chatting to each other. We Westerners would probably call that wasting time. But there is value to it. Being with someone, listening wihtout a clock and without anticipation of results, teaches us about love. The success of love is in the loving -- it is not in the result of loving. 

Mother Teresa

“God doesn't require us to succeed, he only requires that you try.”

Mother Teresa

“If you judge people you have no time to love them.”

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.”

Mother Teresa

“I don’t think there is anyone who needs God’s help and grace as much as I do. Sometimes I feel so helpless and weak. I think that is why God uses me. Because I cannot depend on my own strength, I rely on Him twenty-four hours a day. If the day had even more hours, then I would need His help and grace during those hours as well.

Mother Teresa

“Let us make one point, that we meet each other with a smile, when it is difficult to smile. Smile at each other, make time for each other in your family.”

Mother Teresa

“God hasn't called us to be successful, just faithful.”

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

“We must become holy not because we want to feel holy, but because Christ must be able to live His life fully in us.”

Mother Teresa

“I'm a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world.”

Mother Teresa

“We do not need guns and bombs to bring peace, we need love and compassion.”

Mother Teresa

“Love to be real, it must cost—it must hurt—it must empty us of self.”

Mother Teresa
