Mother Teresa Quotes

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

Work without love is slavery.

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?

It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.

I'm a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world.

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
