Mother Teresa

Intense love does not measure, it just gives.

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

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

I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.

What we do is less than a drop in the ocean. But if it were missing, the ocean would lack something.

Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the worst poverty of all.

There are many in the world dying for a piece of bread, but there are many more dying for a little love.

If you find serenity and happiness, some people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

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

If you try, you will find it impossible to do one great thing. You can only do many small things with great love.
Mother Teresa - Robin Williams
You can do no great things, just small things with great love.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Mother Teresa - -- Letter to U.S. President George Bush and Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, January 1991.
Please choose the way of peace. ... In the short term there may be winners and losers in this war that we all dread. But that never can, nor never will justify the suffering, pain and loss of life your weapons will cause.

Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.
Mother Teresa - in her Nobel lecture
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.

We can do no great things; only small things with great love.

It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.

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

Joy is prayer - Joy is strength - Joy is love - Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.

- Mother Teresa
