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: I

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.

Smile at each other - Mother Teresa - Spiritual Quotes To Live By

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.

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.
