Mother Teresa Quotes and Sayings page(2)

Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.
Mother Teresa 

One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.
Mother Teresa 

Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.
Mother Teresa 

Peace begins with a smile.
Mother Teresa 

Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.
Mother Teresa 

The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.
Mother Teresa 

The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.
Mother Teresa 

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
Mother Teresa 

The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.
Mother Teresa 

The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved.
Mother Teresa 

There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in - that we do it to God, to Christ, and that's why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.
Mother Teresa 

There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use.
Mother Teresa 

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.
Mother Teresa 

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.
Mother Teresa 

We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.
Mother Teresa 

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.
Mother Teresa 

Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.
Mother Teresa
