Mother Teresa's Quotes:

  • It is not how much you do, but how much love you put into the doing that matters.
  • How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers.
  • I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.
  • If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
  • The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved.
  • If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
  • Love is like a fruit in season at all times. Love can warm three winter months
  • The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
  • We 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.
  • If 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.
  • Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
  • Spread your love everywhere you go.
  • God has created us to love and to be loved, and this is the beginning of prayer; to know that he loves me, that I have been created for greater things.
  • When you look at electrical things you can see that they are made of small and big wires, cheap and expensive all lined up. Until the current runs through them there will be no light. Those wires are you and me and the current is God. We have the power to let the current pass through us, use us and produce the light of the world or we can refuse to be used and allow darkness to spread.
  • Do not allow yourselves to be disheartened by any failure as long as you have done your best.
  • Intense love does not measure, it just gives.
  • There are no great things, only small things with great love. Happy are those.
  • Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other. And in the home, begins the disruptiof peace of the world.
  • 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 own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.
  • What I can do, you cannot. What you can do, I cannot. But together we can do something beautiful for God.
