Mother Theresa

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

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

People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
-Mother Teresa

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

Peace begins with a smile...
-Mother Teresa

I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just wish he didn't trust me so much.
-Mother Teresa

I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I 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?'
-Mother Teresa

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

Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
-Mother Teresa

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

It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.
-Mother Teresa

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

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

Never travel faster than your guardian angel can fly.
-Mother Teresa

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

May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.
-Mother Theresa
