Mother Teresa: Words to Ponder

• Intense love does not measure; it just gives.
• Little things are indeed little, but to be faithful in little things is a great thing.
• Nakedness is not only for a piece of clothing; nakedness is lack of human dignity, and also that beautiful virtue of purity, and lack of that respect for each other.
• Give until it hurts.
• The world today is hungry not only for bread but hungry for love; hungry to be wanted, to be loved.
• Before you speak, it is necessary for you to listen, for God speaks in the silence of the heart.
• We have been created to love and to be loved.
• Do not allow yourselves to be disheartened by any failure as long as you have done your best.
• We must make our homes centers of compassion and forgive endlessly.
• If we really want to love we must learn how to forgive.
• A nation that destroys the life of an unborn child, who has been created for living and loving, who has been created in the image of God, is in a tremendous poverty.
• If we pray, we will believe; If we believe, we will love; If we love, we will serve.
• We can do no great things; only small things with great love.
• If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.
