Serve God joyfully. Let there be no sadness in your life: the only true sorrow is sin.
Mother TeresaIn the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway.
Mother TeresaPerfect prayer does not consist in many words, but in the fervor of the desire which raises the heart to Jesus.
Mother TeresaThe fruit of love is service. The fruit of service is peace. And peace begins with a smile.
Mother TeresaWhere does love begin? In our own homes. When does it begin? When we pray together. The family that prays together stays together.
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.
