Am I ever angry or frustrated? I only feel angry sometimes when I see waste, when things that we waste are what people need, things that would save them from dying. Frustrated? No, never.
Mother TeresaPrayer does not demand that we interrupt our work, but that we continue working as if it were a prayer.
Mother TeresaWe have no salaries. When one says he is from a good Catholic family and says he wants to help us, why should we refuse his offer?
Mother TeresaThese are the few ways we can practice humility: To speak as little as possible of one's self. To mind one's own business. Not to want to manage other people's affairs. To avoid curiosity. To accept contradictions and correction cheerfully. To pass over the mistakes of others. To accept insults and injuries. To accept being slighted, forgotten and disliked. To be kind and gentle even under provocation. Never to stand on one's dignity. To choose always the hardest.
