Mother Teresa is loved the world over for her caring heart. She strove
to make the world a better place through countless acts of kindness, love, and
generosity. Here are some of her words of wisdom that are worth taking to heart. |
Give Love.
“Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired."
Take Action.
“Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person."
Try.
“God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try."
The key to greatness.
“In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love."
Be Faithful.
“Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies."
Use your graces.
“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."
Love those around you.
“Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action. "
Seek God.
“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. "
Remember your value.
“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. "
Embrace Joy.
“Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls. "
Don't judge others.
“If you judge people, you have no time to love them. "
Do what you can.
“If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one."
Offer Kindness
“Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing."
Spread love.
“Good works are links that form a chain of love. "
Don't fear love.
"I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love. "
Reach out to others.
"I want you to be concerned about your next door neighbor. Do you know your next door neighbor?"
We are part of a beautiful whole
"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. "
--Mother Teresa
