Mother Teresa

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

We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.

We 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.

Life is a game, play it.

Peace begins with a smile

Spread love everywhere you go.

God doesn't require us to succeed, he only requires that you try.

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

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

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

What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family.

Intense love does not measure, it just gives.

One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.

Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home.

Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.

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

Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

Let 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.

I 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.

Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them.

There 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.

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.

Let 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.

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

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

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

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

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

I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples.

God never sends us more than we can handle.
