Mother Teresa.

We can do no great things – only small things with great love.

Born Agnes Gonxha Bojarhiu, Mother Teresa is revered for her lifelong dedication to the poor, most notably the destitute masses of India.

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

Moved by utter poverty, suffering and misery of a large  number of people in India she decided to dedicate her whole life for the welfare of the poor and took Indian citizenship in 1948. Mother Teresa began her work by teaching street children. Her selfless commitment to helping the poor saved the lives of nearly 8,000 people in Calcutta alone. Mother Teresa’s compassion and devotion to the destitute earned her the Nobel Prize in 1979.

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

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

Joy is a net by which you catch souls.

Kind words are short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.

To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

True holiness consist in doing God’s will with a smile.

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is a beauty, admire it. Life is a bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a dutu, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is a 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.
