Top 12 Most Famous Mother Teresa Quotes to Inspire You












41 Best Mother Teresa Quotes on Loving, Serving, and Giving
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.”
Mother Teresa






I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, ‘How many good things have you done in your life?’ rather he will ask, ‘How much love did you put into what you did?”
Mother Teresa









Smile at each other. Smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other – it doesn’t matter who it is – and that will help to grow up in greater love for each other.”
Mother Teresa







Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.”
Mother Teresa






In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you. Then you will know that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence.”
Mother Teresa






Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.”
Mother Teresa
51 Motivational Mother Teresa Quotes to Empower You (Kindness & Compassion)
At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by “I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.”
Mother Teresa





Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world.”
Mother Teresa




It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.”
Mother Teresa





God made the world for the delight of human beings– if we could see His goodness everywhere, His concern for us, His awareness of our needs: the phone call we’ve waited for, the ride we are offered, the letter in the mail, just the little things He does for us throughout the day. As we remember and notice His love for us, we just begin to fall in love with Him because He is so busy with us — you just can’t resist Him. I believe there’s no such thing as luck in life, it’s God’s love, it’s His.”
Mother Teresa







The success of love is in the loving – it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does NOT determine the value of what we have done.”
Mother Teresa









There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use.”
Mother Teresa








Love is not patronizing and charity isn’t about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same — with charity you give love, so don’t just give money but reach out your hand instead.”
Mother Teresa





We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.”
Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa Short Biography
Born on 26 August 1910 in Üsküp, Kosovo Vilayet, Ottoman (present-day: Skopje, North Macedonia), Mother Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu (born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu) was an Albanian-Indian Roman Catholic nun and missionary.
Given honored in the Catholic Church as Saint Teresa of Calcutta in 2016, Mother Teresa was the founder of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity (a Roman Catholic congregation of women dedicated to helping the poor).
Since she was twelve years old, Teresa knew that she had to be a missionary to spread the love of Christ one day.
As soon as she turned 18, She left her parental home in Skopje to go to Dublin, Ireland to join the Sisters of Loreto. After a few months of training, she took her initial vows as a nun on 24 May 1931 and was sent to India for missions where she lived most of her life.
