You weren't created just to consume resources, you were put on this Earth to make a contribution.
Mother TeresaYou who have received so much love, share it with others. Love others the way that God has loved you, with tenderness.
Mother TeresaWhat is called generosity is usually only the vanity of giving; we enjoy the vanity more. If you can't feed a hundred people, then just feed one.
Mother TeresaOur poverty is freedom. This is our poverty - the giving up our freedom to dispose of things, to choose, to possess
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.
