Love cannot remain by itself - it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action and that action is service.
Mother TeresaIt is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us.
Mother TeresaEven the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
Mother TeresaI think that before people were speaking much about the poor, but now more and more people are speaking to the poor. That is the great difference.
Mother TeresaThere is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter. We sometimes lose sight of this force when there is suffering, too much pain. Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways.
