Quotes!
Mother Teresa

Editor's Note: Mother Teresa did so much for so many… loving those who were there, taking a moment to touch them and assist the lost to feel connected to someone. She took large problems and turned them into small bite sized pieces which each one of us can achieve… and through those actions, we can make a difference! Here are a few of her inspiring words.

It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do… but how much love we put in that action.

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.

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

I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.

Being 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.

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.

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

There is more hunger in the world for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.

Jesus said love one another. He didn't say love the whole world.

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

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

If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

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

Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.

I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I don't know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will NOT ask, How many good things have you done in your life?, rather he will ask, How much LOVE did you put into what you did?

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.

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

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

The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.

I want you to be concerned about your next door neighbor. Do you know your next door neighbor?

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

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

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

We are all pencils in the hand of God.

I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.

Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.

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 disruption of peace of the world.

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.

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

There are no great things, only small things with great love. Happy are those.

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.

We, the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.
