I have the feeling that we are in such a hurry that we do not have time to look at one another and smile.

Let us not be afraid to be humble, small, helpless to prove our love for God. The cup of water you give the sick, the way you lift a dying man, the way you feed a baby, the way you teach a dull child, the way you give medicine to a sufferer of leprosy, the joy with which you smile at your own at home - all this is God's love in the world today.

Mother Teresa tells a story of walking past an open drain and catching a glimpse of something moving in it. She investigated and found a dying man whom she took back to a home where he could die in love and peace. 'I live like an animal in the streets,' the man told her. 'Now I will die like an angel'.

If you really love one another, you will not be able to avoid making sacrifices.

Let us remain as empty as possible so that God can fill us up.

If each of us would only sweep our own doorstep, the whole World would be clean.

How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers.
