More from Mother Teresa
- I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.
- 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?
- It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.
- 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.
- Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
- Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
