Mother Teresa

Put yourself completely under the influence of Jesus, so that he may think his thoughts in your mind, do his work through your hands, for you will be all-powerful with him to strengthen you.

Mother Teresa

Religion has nothing to do with compassion; it is our love for God that is the main thing because we have all been created for the sole purpose to love and be loved.

Mother Teresa

Riches, both material and spiritual, can choke you if you do not use them fairly. For not even God can put anything in a heart that is already full.

Mother Teresa

Self knowledge puts us on our knees, and it is very necessary for love. For knowledge of God gives love, and knowledge of self gives humility.

Mother Teresa

Silence gives us a new way of looking at something.

Mother Teresa

Silence of the heart is necessary so you can hear God everywhere – in the closing of the door, in the person who needs you, in the birds that sing, in the flowers, in the animals.

Mother Teresa

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.

Mother Teresa

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

Mother Teresa

Spread the love of God through your life but only use words when necessary.

Mother Teresa

Stay very close to Our Lady. If you do this, you can do great things for God and the good of people.
