In my research for famous quotes I believe Mother Teresa may be one of the most quoted people of all time. Many times she said just a few words, but whatever she said, you can believe it was a very thoughtful saying. Here are just 21 Mother Teresa quotes, I think you will agree that she must have thought long and hard before she said them.
“Spread the love of God through your life but only use words when necessary.”
Mother Teresa Quotes About the Importance of a Smile
"Peace begins with a smile ..."
“Peace begins with a smile..”
“Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.”
“The person who gives with a smile is the best giver because God loves a cheerful giver.”
“Let us make one point, that we meet each other with a smile, when it is difficult to smile. Smile at each other, make time for each other in your family.”
“Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.”
“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 Quotes About Love & Peace
“I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.”
“The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.”
“It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.”
“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.”
“I’m a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world.”
“What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family.”

Mother Teresa Quotes About Doing
“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.”
“We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.”
“A life not lived for others is not a life.”
“I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.”
“The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.”
“We, the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.”

She is really a great woman. And is also a idol we should respect!
I do not think she would like to be called an idol.
I Really Appreciate Mother Teresa the devotional personality.
We can’t achieve that Height of Devotion.
she is great.she is the face of god.
MOTHER TERESA, WAS A LIVING SAINT, WE NEVER KNEW SHE WAS A SAINT, BUT ONLY GOD KNEW, BECAUSE THE PEOPLE SHE TOUCHED WAS A HEALING BY ITSELF AND A COMFORT FROM GOD THROUGH MOTHER TERESA.
I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER MOTHER TERESA
AND MY PRAYERS WILL BE WITH HER.

Mother Teresa great person, she was lot of helping in our country poor people… she all the quotes we will take and continue our life. By Mahendran, Thiruthuraipoondi. Mobile: 9789392097
Mother Teresa words of love and wisdom have touched the lives of so many people around the world. She was and is an inspiration for us all to live life to the fullest and treat one another with love and kindness.
It touched me as well and you must be a grreat girl.
she is a great woman and an idol to who are sick and we should respect the work she does . We should never forget the people in Africa and people in poverty . It is GOD who is helping us and guiding us so let us grow to love him more and never forget the great things he sends Mother Teresa and all the saints (that includes us children and adults). SO if you need help don`t always be counting on Mum to do it pray to GOD. And don`t forget GOD is always with you.
GOD BLESS YA`LL
GOD said forgive and forget so if your sister or brother does something by mistake forgive them because they did not mean it.
GOD BLESS YA`LL
“The person who gives with a smile is the best giver because God loves a cheerful giver.”

There was no one like her and no one can hardly ever be. A true life changer. Respect.

There can never be any other mother like Mother Theresa. She lived a well-lived life, seeking to help those she lived with on this earth. She left for us something that can never be compared to anything else…wisdom and Knowledge!
may God richly bless mother of all

Hi,
really this is very nice collection of quotes.I am also love the mother Teresa quotes.thank you for sharing.
I am a presenter on Radio Maria-Uganda. I proud to use Blessed Teresa’s quotes in my programmes.
Mother Teresa was focussed on outwardly doing good things. But Mother Teresa actually needed help herself. Recent evidence from her diaries, and contacts with her confessors etc, shows that she was in a constant state of depression, all the time showing outward smiles, yet hardly ever coming out of her depression…
“Mother Teresa” She has done what she has to do now it’s our part to show what we can do .
Mother Teresa quotes always the best
The world needs to understand this “Peace begins with a smile..”
