I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.

Mother Teresa

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.

Mother Teresa

Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.

Mother Teresa

Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.

Mother Teresa

Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home.

Mother Teresa

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.

Mother Teresa

Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.

Mother Teresa

Love is a fruit in season at all times and within the reach of every hand.

Mother Teresa

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.

Mother Teresa

If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

Mother Teresa
