Mother Teresa

“When you have nothing left but God,you have more than enough to start over again.”

“The fruit of Silence is PrayerThe fruit of Prayer is FaithThe fruit of Faith is LoveThe fruit of Love is ServiceThe fruit of Service is Peace”

“Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.”

“Joy is strength.”

“We learn humility through accepting humiliations cheerfully.”

“When a poor person dies of hunger it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed.”

“Life...”

“If you are joyful, do not worry about lukewarmness. Joy will shine in your eyes and in your look, in your conversation and in your countenance. You will not be able to hide it because joy overflows.”

“I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.”

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

“‎Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.”

“The trees, the flowers, the plants grow in silence. The stars, the sun, the moon move in silence. Silence gives us a new perspective.”

“The way you help heal the world is you start with your own family.”

“If I look at the mass I will never act.”

“There are many people who can do big things, but there are very few people who will do the small things.”

“We must know that we have been created for greater things, not just to be a number in the world, not just to go for diplomas and degrees, this work and that work. We have been created in order to love and to be loved.”

“I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is 'Abortion', because it is a war against the child... A direct killing of the innocent child, 'Murder' by the mother herself... And if we can accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love... And we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts...”

“May God break my heart so completely that the whole world falls in.”

“As for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great, that I look and do not see, — Listen and do not hear — the tongue moves but does not speak … I want you to pray for me — that I let Him have free hand.”

“Prayer makes your heart bigger, until it is capable of containing the gift of God himself. Prayer begets faith, faith begets love, and love begets service on behalf of the poor.”

“Holiness does not consist in doing extraordinary things. It consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends us. It consists in accepting and following the will of God.”

“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.”

“A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, and must empty ourselves. Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in his love than in your weakness.”

“Prayer is the mortar that holds our house together.”

“If a mother can kill her own child - what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me - there is nothing between.”

“Go out into the world today and love the people you meet. Let your presence light new light in the hearts of people.”

“In the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world.”

“At the hour of death when we come face-to-face with God, we are going to be judged on love; not how much we have done, but how much love we put into the doing.”

“Keep the corners of your mouth turned up. Speak in a low, persuasive tone. Listen; be teachable. Laugh at good stories and learn to tell them...For as long as you are green, you can grow.”

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

“In the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway.”

“Give, but give until it hurts.”

“One filled with joy preaches without preaching.”

“How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers.”

“Orang kerap kali tak bernalar, tak logis, dan egois. Biar begitu maafkanlah mereka.Bila engkau baik, orang mungkin akan menuduhmu menyembunyikan motif yang egois. Biar begitu, tetaplah bersikap baik.Bila engkau mendapat sukses, engkau mungkin bakal pula mendapat teman-teman palsu dan musuh. Biar begitu, tetaplah meraih sukses.Bila engkau jujur dan berterus terang, orang mungkin akan menipumu. Biar begitu, tetaplah jujur dan berterus terang.Apa yang engkau bangun selama bertahun-tahun mungkin akan dihancurkan seseorang dalam semalam. Biar begitu, tetaplah membangun.Bila engkau menemukan ketenangan dan kebahagiaan, orang mungkin akan iri. Biar begitu, tetaplah berbahagia.Kebaikan yang engkau lakukan hari ini sering bakal dilupakan orang keesokan harinya. Biar begitu, tetaplah lakukan kebaikan.Berikan pada dunia milikmu yang terbaik, dan mungkin itu tak akan pernah cukup. Biar begitu, tetaplah berikan pada dunia milikmu yang terbaik.”

“love only variously everydayThe meaning of love”

“One truly must have suffered oneself to help others.”

“Everything that is not given is lost.”

“Why can't there be love that never gets tired?”

“Intense love does not measure it just gives. ”

“God does not require that we be successful only that we be faithful.”

“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.”

“I would rather make mistakes in kindness and compassion than work miracles in unkindness and hardness.”

“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.”

“Hungry for love, He looks at you. Thirsty for kindness, He begs of you. Naked for loyalty, He hopes in you. Homeless for shelter in your heart, He asks of you. Will you be that one to Him?”

“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.”

“Suffering is nothing by itself. But suffering shared with the passion of Christ is a wonderful gift, the most beautiful gift, a token of love.”

“Our life of contemplation shall retain the following characteristics:—missionary: by going out physically or in spirit in search of souls all over the universe.—contemplative: by gathering the whole universe at the very center of our hearts where the Lord of the universe abides, and allowing the pure water of divine grace to flow plentifully and unceasingly from the source itself, on the whole of his creation.—universal: by praying and contemplating with all and for all, especially with and for the spiritually poorest of the poor.”

“Seeking the face of God in everything, everyone, all the time, and his hand in every happening; This is what it means to be contemplative in the heart of the world. Seeing and adoring the presence of Jesus, especially in the lowly appearance of bread, and in the distressing disguise of the poor.”

“Joy must be one of the pivots of our life. It is the token of a generous personality. Sometimes it is also a mantle that clothes a life of sacrifice and self-giving. A person who has this gift often reaches high summits. He or she is like sun in a community.”
