We need to realize that poverty doesn't only consist of being hungry for bread, but rather it is a tremendous hunger for human dignity. We need to love and to be someone for someone else
Mother TeresaYou may be exhausted with work, you may even kill yourself, but unless your work is interwoven with love, it is useless. To work without love is slavery.
Mother TeresaIn vocal prayer we speak to God; in mental prayer he speaks to us. It is then that God pours Himself into us.
Mother TeresaPoverty was not created by God. It is we who have caused it, you and I through our egotism.
Mother TeresaPeople are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Love them anyway.... Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.... What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. .. Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you've got anyway.
Mother Teresa
