Great Quotes
Quotes by Mother Teresa on Love
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
It is not how much we do,
but how much love we put in the doing.
It is not how much we give,
but how much love we put in the giving.
If we really want to love
we must learn how to forgive.
We can do no great things;
only small things with great love.
There is a terrible hunger for love.
We all experience that in our lives - the pain, the loneliness.
We must have the courage to recognize it.
The poor you may have right in your own family.
Find them.
Love them.
Quotes by Mother Teresa on Service
It is not how much we do,
but how much love we put in the doing.
It is not how much we give,
but how much love we put in the giving.
You and I, we are the Church, no? We have to share with our people. Suffering today is because people are hoarding, not giving, not sharing.
Jesus made it very clear. Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me.
Give a glass of water, you give it to me.
Receive a littlechild, you receive me...
Love cannot remain by itself -- it has no meaning.
Love has to be put into action, and that action is service
Speak tenderly to them.
Let there be kindness in your face,
in your eyes, in your smile,
in the warmth of your greeting.
Always have a cheerful smile.
Don't only give your care,
but give your heart as well.
If you are humble nothing will touch you,
neither praise nor disgrace,
because you know what you are.
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Quotes by Mother Teresa on God
Before you speak,
it is necessary for you to listen,
for God speaks in the silence of the heart.
There is only one God and He is God to all;
therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God.
I've always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu,
a Muslim become a better Muslim,
a Catholic become a better Catholic.
The very fact that God has placed a certain soul
in our way is a sign that
God wants us to do something for him or her.
It is not chance;
It has been planned by God.
We are bound by conscience to help him or her.
Once we take our eyes away
from ourselves, from our interests,
from our own rights, privileges, ambitions -
then our eyes will become clear
to see Jesus around us.
Keep the joy of loving Jesus
in your heart
and share this joy
with all you meet especially your family.
Quote by Helen Keller
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.
Quote by David Lloyd George
Don't be afraid to take a big step. You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps.
