♥ Famous Quotations on Charity, by Mother Teresa ♥

Quotes added by Eric Gondwe, from Jesus Work Ministry, an evangelical ministry.
Mother Teresa, a Christian example for all denominations on humanitarian work.

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 in her book, A Gift for God

I choose the poverty of our poor people. But I am grateful to receive (the Nobel Peace Prize) in the name of the hungry, the naked, the homeless, of the crippled, of the blind, of the lepers, of all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared-for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone. Mother Teresa, on accepting the Nobel Peace Prize, 1979.

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

One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.

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

It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.

I see God in every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds, I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.

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

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it.

The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.

We, the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.

Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.

I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I don't know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, How many good things have you done in your life? Rather he will ask, How much LOVE did you put into what you did?

“By blood and origin I am Albanian. My citizenship is Indian. I am a Catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the whole world. As to my heart, I belong entirely to the heart of Jesus.

God will find another person, more humble, more devoted, more obedient to him, and the society will go on. Mother Teresa in Calcutta, 1989, after announcing her intention to retire.

I was expecting to be free, but God has his own plans. Mother Teresa in Calcutta, 1990, when the sisters of her order persuaded her to withdraw her resignation

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

Good works are links that form a chain of love.

I prefer you to make mistakes in kindness than work miracles in unkindness.

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

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

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

At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by 'I was hungry and you gave me to eat, I was naked and you clothed me, I was homeless and you took me in.' Hungry not only for bread - but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing - but naked for human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a room of bricks - but homeless because of rejection.

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

Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; 
Forgive them anyway.  
If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; 
Be kind anyway.  
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; 
Succeed anyway.  
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; 
Be honest and frank anyway.  
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; 
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; 
Be happy anyway.  
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; 
Do good anyway.  
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; 
Give the world the best you've got anyway.  
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; 
It was never between you and them anyway.

Please choose the way of peace. ... In the short term there may be winners and losers in this war that we all dread. But that never can, nor never will justify the suffering, pain and loss of life your weapons will cause. Mother Teresa in a Letter to U.S. President George Bush, Sr. and Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, January 1991

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

I think I'm more difficult than critical.

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.

Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.

Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.

We must have a real living determination to reach holiness. 'I will be a saint' means I will despoil myself of all that is not God; I will strip my heart of all created things; I will live in poverty and detachment; I will renounce my will, my inclinations, my whims and fancies, and make myself a willing slave to the will of God. Mother Teresa in her book, A Gift for God.

Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God - the rest will be given.

Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.

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.

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. I do not agree with the big way of doing things.

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.

There should be less talk; a preaching point is not a meeting point. What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough.
