Mother Teresa

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless."

"I used to pray that God would feed the hungry, or do this or that, but now I pray that he will guide me to do whatever I'm supposed to do, what I can do. I used to pray for answers, but now I'm praying for strength. I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us and we change things."

"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."

"The Simple PathSilence is PrayerPrayer is FaithFaith is LoveLove is ServiceThe Fruit of Service is Peace"

"Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need, not more."

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

"There is a terrible hunger for love. We all experience that in our lives - the pain, the loneliness. We must have the courage to recognize it. The poor you may have right in your own family. Find them. Love them."

"The most terrible poverty is loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved."

"Prayer is the mortar that holds our house together."

"Work without love is slavery."

"Peace begins with a smile.."

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

"There are many people who can do big things, but there are very few people who will do the small things."

"I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' rather he will ask, 'How much love did you put into what you did?"

"Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile."

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

"Work without love is slavery."

"Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin."

"The Simple PathSilence is PrayerPrayer is FaithFaith is LoveLove is ServiceThe Fruit of Service is Peace"

"God does not require that we be successful only that we be faithful."
