Mother Teresa

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

Mother Teresa

I was once asked why I don’t participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I’ll be there.

Mother Teresa

If faith is lacking, it is because there is too much selfishness, too much concern for personal gain. For faith to be true, it has to be generous and loving. Love and faith go together, they complete each other.

Mother Teresa

If our bones were not sending whispers of doubt to our hearts, there would be no need for prayer at all.

Mother Teresa

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

Mother Teresa

If we really want to love we must learn how to forgive.

Mother Teresa

If we were humble, nothing would change us – neither praise nor discouragement. If someone were to criticize us, we would not feel discouraged. If someone would praise us, we also would not feel proud.

Mother Teresa

If you are discouraged it is a sign of pride because it shows you trust in your own power. Your self-sufficiency, your selfishness and your intellectual pride will inhibit His coming to live in your heart because God cannot fill what is already full. It is as simple as that.

Mother Teresa

If you are discouraged, it is a sign of pride because it shows you trust in your own powers.

Mother Teresa

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
