How to Love God
Faith"I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness." Return to Index of Mother Teresa Quotes Generosity"If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one." Return to Index of Mother Teresa Quotes God"God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try." "I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much." "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." Return to Index of Mother Teresa Quotes Humorous"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." "I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much." "Jesus said love one another. He didn't say love the whole world." "The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it." Return to Index of Mother Teresa Quotes JoyJoy is a net of love by which you can catch souls." "Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love". "We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do." "It is impossible to walk rapidly and be unhappy." Return to Index of Mother Teresa Quotes Kindness"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." Return to Index of Mother Teresa Quotes Leadership"Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person." Return to Index of Mother Teresa Quotes
Love"I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love." "Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired." "Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own." "Good works are links that form a chain of love." "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." "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." "Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love". "Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand". "The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread." "The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done." "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." "Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier." Return to Index of Mother Teresa Quotes Meaningful Life"We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop." "Unless a life is lived for others, it is not worthwhile." "We are all pencils in the hand of God." Return to Index of Mother Teresa Quotes Peace"Peace begins with a smile." "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." "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other." Return to Index of Mother Teresa Quotes Poverty"It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish." "Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty." "One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody." "The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted." "There is more hunger in the world for love and appreciation in this world than for bread." "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." "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." Return to Index of Mother Teresa Quotes Strength"Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies."

The Dash
It's not the date you were born, or the date you died, that really matters. It's "the dash" between those years and what you do with it, to make a difference with your life.
