Quotes by Mother Teresa

One of the greatest diseases

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

Money is not enough

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 belong to each other

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

feeling of being unwanted

The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.

only more love

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

love letter to the world

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

Everytime you smile at someone

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

Even the rich are hungry for love

Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.

love without getting tired

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

much greater poverty

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.
