Here are some famous quotes by Mother Teresa. These quotes reveal her thinking and are a guiding light and source of inspiration to others.


Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.




  • 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.




  • Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.




  • Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world.




  • Good works are links that form a chain of love.




  • Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.




  • I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.




  • I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.






I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.




  • I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.




  • I think I'm more difficult than critical.




  • I want you to be concerned about your next door neighbor. Do you know your next door neighbor?




  • 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. " If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.




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




  • If you judge people, you have no time to love them.




  • If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.




  • In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.




  • Intense love does not measure, it just gives.




  • It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.




  • It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.




  • Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.




  • Sweetest Lord, make me appreciative of the dignity of my high vocation, and its many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience.




  • The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.




  • We are all pencils in the hand of God.




  • 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.




  • We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.
