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.

Mother Teresa (2001). “Mother Teresa: Essential Writings”

I never look at the masses as my responsibility. I look at the individual. I can love only one person at a time. I can feed only one person at a time. Just one, one, one.

Responsibility, Looks, Poverty

I choose the poverty of our poor people. But I am grateful to receive it (the Nobel) in the name of the hungry, the naked, the homeless, of the crippled, of the blind, of the lepers, of all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone.

If you really love one another, you will not be able to avoid making sacrifices.

Mother Teresa (1996). “In My Own Words”

I pray that you will understand the words of Jesus, “Love one another as I have loved you.” Ask yourself “How has he loved me? Do I really love others in the same way?” Unless this love is among us, we can kill ourselves with work and it will only be work, not love. Work without love is slavery.

Jesus, Love Is, Slavery

The family that prays together stays together, and if they stay together they will love one another as God has loved each one of them. And works of love are always works of peace.

Together, Praying, Love One Another

Like Jesus we belong to the world living not for ourselves but for others. The joy of the Lord is our strength.

Faith in action is love, and love in action is service. By transforming that faith into living acts of love, we put ourselves in contact with God Himself, with Jesus our Lord.

Jesus, Catholic, And Love

I must be willing to give whatever it takes to do good to others. This requires that I be willing to give until it hurts. Otherwise, there is no true love in me, and I bring injustice, not peace, to those around me.

Hurt, Giving, Injustice

Mother Teresa's address at the National Prayer Breakfast (Sponsored by the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives), www.ewtn.com. February 3, 1994.

When we judge others we leave no room to love them.

The child is the beauty of God present in the world, that greatest gift to a family

Children, World, Greatest Gifts

We need silence to be alone with God, to speak to him, to listen to him, to ponder his words deep in our hearts. We need to be alone with God in silence to be renewed and transformed. Silence gives us a new outlook on life. In it we are filled with the energy of God himself that makes us do all things with joy.

Spiritual, Heart, Outlook On Life

Mother Teresa (2001). “Mother Teresa: Essential Writings”

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

People everywhere are the same; they are all people to be loved. They are all hungry for love.

People, Hungry, Hungry For Love

Mother Teresa (2001). “Mother Teresa: Essential Writings”

We are at Jesus' disposal. If he wants you to be sick in bed, if he wants you to proclaim His work in the street, if he wants you to clean the toilets all day, that's all right, everything is all right. We must say, "I belong to you. You can do whatever you like." And this ..is our strength, and this is the joy of the Lord.

Jesus, Sick, Joy

Mother Teresa (2001). “Mother Teresa: Essential Writings”

We must remember that life begins at home and we must also remember that the future of humanity passes through the family

The joy of Jesus will be my strength - it will be in my heart. Every person I meet will see it in my work; my walk, my prayer - in everything.

Jesus, Prayer, Heart

Mother Teresa (1985). “Mother Teresa: Contemplative in the Heart of the World”

Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.

Love, Mother, Work

Mother Teresa (2001). “Mother Teresa: Essential Writings”

We too are called to withdraw at certain intervals into deeper silence and aloneness with God, together as a community as well as personally; to be alone with Him — not with our books, thoughts, and memories but completely stripped of everything — to dwell lovingly in His presence, silent, empty, expectant, and motionless. We cannot find God in noise or agitation.

Memories, Book, Silence

Mother Teresa of Calcutta (2010). “In the Heart of the World: Thoughts, Stories & Prayers (Easyread Large Edition)”, p.10, ReadHowYouWant.com

Suffering can become a means to greater love and greater generosity.

Life is a game, play it... Life is too precious, do not destroy it.

"Life Is". Poem by Mother Teresa, www.beliefnet.com.

Try to put in the hearts of your children a love for home. Make them long to be with their families. So much sin could be avoided if our people really loved their homes.

Children, Home, Heart

There is hunger for ordinary bread, and there is hunger for love, for kindness, for thoughtfulness, and this is the great poverty that makes people suffer so much.

Kindness, Hunger For Love, People
