Mother Teresa Quotes


Speak tenderly; let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting. Always have a cheerful smile. Don’t only give your care, but give your heart as well.


Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.

To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

The biggest disease today is not leprosy or cancer or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling or being unwanted, uncared for, deserted by everybody. The greatest evil is the lack of love and charity, the terrible indifference towards one’s neighbour who lives at the roadside, the victim of exploitation, corruption, poverty, and disease.

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

A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, and must empty ourselves. Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in his love than in your weakness.

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

The beginning of prayer is silence. If we really want to pray we must first learn to listen, for in the silence of the heart God speaks. And to be able to see that silence, to be able to hear God we need a clean heart; for a clean heart can see God, can hear God, can listen to God; and then only from the fullness of our heart can we speak to God. But we cannot speak unless we have listened, unless we have made that connection with God in the silence of our heart.

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

Who is Jesus to me? Jesus is the Word made Flesh. Jesus is the Bread of Life. Jesus is the Victim offered for our sins on the cross. Jesus is the sacrifice offered at holy Mass for the sins of the world and for mine. Jesus is the Word – to be spoken. Jesus is the Truth – to be told. Jesus is the Way – to be walked. Jesus is the Light – to be lit. Jesus is the Life – to be lived. Jesus is the Love – to be loved

Cheerfulness is a sign of a generous and mortified person who forgetting all things, even herself, tries to please her God in all she does for souls. Cheerfulness is often a cloak which hides a life of sacrifice and a continual union with God.

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

Death, in the final analysis, is only the easiest and quickest means to go back to God. If only we could make people understand that we come from God and that we have to go back to Him!

Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.

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

Let us not use bombs and guns to overcome the world. Let us use love and compassion. Peace begins with a smile-smile five times a day at someone you don’t really want to smile at at all-do it for peace. So let us radiate peace…and extinguish in the world and in the hearts of all men all hatred and love for power.

Perfect prayer does not consist in many words, but in the fervor of the desire which raises the heart to Jesus.


One filled with joy preaches without preaching.

Mother Teresa Quotes on Sacrifice

A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, must empty ourselves.

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand. Anyone may gather it and no limit is set. Everyone can reach this love through meditation, spirit of prayer, and sacrifice, by an intense inner life.

You must give what will cost you something. This is giving not just what you can live without, but what you can’t live without, or don’t want to live without, something you really like. Then your gift becomes a sacrifice, which will have value before God. This giving until it hurts – this sacrifice – is what I call love in action.

If you really love one another, you will not be able to avoid making sacrifices.
