Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
Mother TeresaBeing 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.

Mother TeresaEach one of them is Jesus in disguise.
Mother TeresaEven the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.

Mother TeresaI know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.
Mother TeresaI try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.
Mother TeresaI want you to be concerned about your next door neighbor. Do you know your next door neighbor?
Mother TeresaIf we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Mother TeresaIf we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
Mother TeresaIf you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
Mother TeresaIf you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Mother TeresaIf you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

Mother TeresaIt is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.
Mother TeresaIt is impossible to walk rapidly and be unhappy.
Mother TeresaIt is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.
Mother TeresaJesus said love one another. He didn't say love the whole world.
Mother TeresaJoy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
Mother TeresaKind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
Mother TeresaLet us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
Mother TeresaLet us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God - the rest will be given.
Mother TeresaLet us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.
Mother TeresaLet us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.

Mother TeresaLoneliness is the most terrible poverty.
Mother TeresaLove begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.
Mother TeresaLove begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home.
Mother TeresaLove is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.
Mother TeresaMany people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.

Mother TeresaOur life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.

Mother TeresaSpread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

Mother TeresaThe miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.
Mother TeresaThe most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved.

Mother TeresaThere are no great things, only small things with great love. Happy are those.
Mother TeresaThere is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in - that we do it to God, to Christ, and that's why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.
Mother TeresaThere is more hunger in the world for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.
Mother TeresaThere must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use.
Mother TeresaWe are all pencils in the hand of God.
Mother TeresaWe can do no great things, only small things with great love.
Mother TeresaWe 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.
Mother TeresaWe 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 TeresaWords which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.
Mother Teresa
