There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.

More from Mother Teresa

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