Mother Teresa quote: Spread the love of God through your life. - Spiritual Quotes To Live By

These Mother Teresa quotes are all positive, inspirational words of wisdom. As the majority of photographs that we see of Mother Teresa are all of when she was a much older woman, I thought that it would be good to have a photo of her when she was younger.

Mother Teresa was born in Skopje, Macedonia on 26th August 1910. Her name at birth was Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. She became a Roman Catholic nun and began teaching in India. She went on to work among the poorest of poor in the slums of Calcutta and founded The Missionaries of Charity. Mother Teresa won many awards over the years including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. She died on 5th September 1997.

Mother Teresa Quotes: A

A joyful heart is the inevitable result of a heart burning with love.

Quotes: B

Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.

Be happy in the moment... that's enough.

Mother Teresa Quotes: D

Do not allow yourselves to be disheartened by any failure as long as you have done your best.

Do not wait for leaders, do it alone, person to person.

Quotes: E

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.

Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.

Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.

Mark & Julie (2011)

Mother Teresa Quotes: G

Give of your hands to serve and your hearts to love.

Give people not only your care, but also your heart.

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

God never sends us more than we can handle.

Quotes: H

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

Mother Teresa Quotes: I

I alone can't change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.

I am a little pencil in the hand of God, who is sending a love letter to the world.

I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, He will not ask, "How many good things have you done in your life?" Rather he will ask, "How much love did you put into what you did?"

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

If we pray, we will believe.
If we believe, we will love.
If we love, we will serve.

If you ask children in the west where’s God, they’d point to the sky. If you ask children in India, they point at themselves.

If you can't feed a hundred people, then just feed one.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

In the silence of the heart, God speaks.

In this life we cannot always do great things.. But we can do small things with great love.

Intense love does not measure... it just gives.

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.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.

Mother Teresa Quotes: L

Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it
Life is beauty, admire it
Life is bliss, taste it
Life is a dream, realise it
Life is a challenge, meet it
Life is a duty, complete it
Life is a game, play it
Life is a promise, fulfil it
Life is sorrow, accept it
Life is tragedy, confront it
Life is an adventure, dare it
Life is luck, make it
Life is too precious, do not destroy it
Life is life, fight for it

Love begins by taking care of the closest ones..
The ones at home.

Mother Teresa quote: Smile at each other - smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other.. Spiritual Quotes To Live By

Lucy & Jessica (2002)

Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own home. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbour.. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.

Spread the love of God through your life.

Mother Teresa Quotes: T

The greatest science in the world - in Heaven and on Earth - is love.

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

The words of Jesus, 'Love one another as I have loved you.' must be not only a light to us, but a flame that consumes the self in us.

Quotes: W

We are all pencils in the hand of God.

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.

Mother Teresa quote: We must know that we have been created for greater things, not just to be a number in the world.. - Spiritual Quotes To Live by

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.

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.
