Quotes by Mother Teresa

I think it is very good when people suffer. To me that is like the kiss of Jesus.

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

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 Im supposed to do, what I can do. I used to pray for answers, but now Im praying for strength. I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us and we change things.

A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, and must empty ourselves. Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in his love than in your weakness.

It is not what to do, but how much love we put into the doing. We can do not greats, only small things with great love. - Mother Theresa

Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace.

Joy is strength.

Joy must be one of the pivots of our life. It is the token of a generous personality. Sometimes it is also a mantle that clothes a life of sacrifice and self-giving. A person who has this gift often reaches high summits. He or she is like sun in a community.

If you are joyful, do not worry about lukewarmness. Joy will shine in your eyes and in your look, in your conversation and in your countenance. You will not be able to hide it because joy overflows.

Joy is the net of love by which we can capture souls. God loves the person who gives with joy. Whoever gives with joy gives more. The best way to show our gratitude to God and to people is to accept with joy.

Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of Christ risen.

How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers. ~ Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Humility is truth, therefore in all sincerity we must be able to look up and say, I can do all things in Him who strengthens me. By yourself you can do nothing, have nothing but sin, weakness and misery. All the gifts of nature and grace you have them from God.
