Mother Teresa

You can do what I can't do. I can do what you can't do. Together we can do something beautiful for God.

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.

In life it is not possible to do great things. But it is possible to do small things with great love.

Be a little pencil in the hand of God
who is sending a love letter to the word.

" It is not how much we do,
but how much love we put in the doing.

It is not how much we give,
but how much love we put in the giving."

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

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

I want you to find the poor here, right in your own home first. And begin love there. Be that good news to your own people.

You have to do that here in your country. You must come to know the poor. Maybe our people here have material things, everything, but I think that if we all look into our own homes, how difficult we find it sometimes to smile at each other, and that the smile is the beginning of love.

"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."
