Mother Teresa

"I prefer you to make mistakes in kindness than work miracles in unkindness."

"Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing."

"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."

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

"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."

"Love is not patronizing and charity isn't about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same -- with charity you give love, so don't just give money but reach out your hand instead."

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

"Joy is prayer; joy is strength: joy is love; joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls."

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

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

"We are all pencils in the hand of God."

"In the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway."

"In the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway."

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

"Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies."

"Work without love is slavery."

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

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

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

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