Quotes of Mother Theresa

The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the valueof what we have done

~

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.

~

If we really want to love we must learn how to forgive.

*

We can do no great things; only small things with great love.


There is a terrible hunger for love. We all experience that in our lives - the pain, the loneliness. We must have the courage to recognize it. The poor you may have right in your own family. Find them. Love them.


  • You and I, we are the Church, no? We have to share with our people. Suffering today is because people are hoarding, not giving, not sharing.Jesus made it very clear. Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me.Give a glass of water, you give it to me. Receive a littlechild, you receive me...


  • Love cannot remain by itself -- it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action, and that action is service
  • *

The dying, the cripple, the mental, the unwanted, the unloved they are Jesus in disguise
**

Before you speak, it is necessary for you to listen, for God speaks in the silence of the heart.

***

There is only one God and He is God to all; therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God.
I've always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic.

    What a gift from God is Mother Theresa for us! I'm an orthodox, but, I learned a lot from her life and the way she loves God and the world.
