Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity.
Mother TeresaYou weren't created just to consume resources, you were put on this Earth to make a contribution.
Mother TeresaHow many times we have picked up in the streets human beings who had been living like animals and were longing to die like angels!
Mother TeresaWe must become holy, not because we want to feel holy, but because Christ must be able to live his life fully in us.
Mother TeresaAs Lent is the time for greater love, listen to Jesus' thirst...'Repen t and believe' Jesus tells us. What are we to repent? Our indifference, our hardness of heart. What are we to believe? Jesus thirsts even now, in your heart and in the poor -- He knows your weakness. He wants only your love, wants only the chance to love you.
Mother Teresa
