Please choose the way...	Please choose the way of peace. In the short term there may be winners and losers in this war that we all dread. But that never can, or never will justify the suffering, pain and loss of life your weapons will cause. Copy	Mother Teresa
Prayer is not asking....	Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts. Copy	Mother Teresa
Profound joy of the...	Profound joy of the heart is like a magnet that indicates the path of life. Copy	Mother Teresa
Smile at each other....	Smile at each other. Smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other – it doesn’t matter who it is – and that will help to grow up in greater love for each other. Copy	Mother Teresa	Smile

The beginning of prayer...	The beginning of prayer is silence. If we really want to pray we must first learn to listen, for in the silence of the heart God speaks. And to be able to see that silence, to be able to hear God we need a clean heart; for a clean heart can see God, can hear God, can listen to God; and then only from the fullness of our heart can we speak to God. But we cannot speak unless we have listened, unless we have made that connection with God in the silence of our heart. Copy	Mother Teresa

The fruit of love...	The fruit of love is service, which is compassion in action. Copy	Mother Teresa
The good you do...	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. Copy	Mother Teresa
The greatest disease in...	The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -- it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God. Copy	Mother Teresa	Love
The hunger for love...	The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread. Copy	Mother Teresa	Love

The more you have,...	The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give. But the less you have the more free you are. Poverty for us is a freedom. It is not mortification, a penance. It is joyful freedom. There is no television here, no this, no that. But we are perfectly happy. Copy	Mother Teresa
The most terrible poverty...	The most terrible poverty is loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved. Copy	Mother Teresa
The openness of our...	The openness of our hearts and minds can be measured by how wide we draw the circle of what we call family. Copy	Mother Teresa
The poor are great!...	The poor are great! The poor are wonderful! The poor are very generous! They give us much more than what we give them. Copy	Mother Teresa
The success of 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. Copy	Mother Teresa	Success
There are many people...	There are many people who can do big things, but there are very few people who will do the small things. Copy	Mother Teresa
There are no great...	There are no great things, only small things with great love. Happy are those. Copy	Mother Teresa
There is a light...	There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter. We sometimes lose sight of this force when there is suffering, too much pain. Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways. Copy	Mother Teresa	Powerful
There is more hunger...	There is more hunger in the world for love and appreciation in this world than for bread. Copy	Mother Teresa
There is no key...	There is no key to happiness; the door is always open. Copy	Mother Teresa

Together we can do...	Together we can do great things. Copy	Mother Teresa
We do not need...	We do not need guns and bombs to bring peace, we need love and compassion. Copy	Mother Teresa

We must make our...	We must make our homes centers of compassion and forgive endlessly. Copy	Mother Teresa	Forgiveness
We must not be...	We must not be surprised when we hear of murders, killings, of wars, or of hatred… If a mother can kill her own child, what is left but for us to kill each other? Copy	Mother Teresa
We need to find...	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. Copy	Mother Teresa	Nature
We ourselves feel that...	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. Copy	Mother Teresa
We shall never know...	We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do. Copy	Mother Teresa
We think sometimes that...	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. Copy	Mother Teresa
