11 quotes in our collection

Mother Teresa (1910-1997) was an Albanian-born Indian Catholic nun and humanitarian who founded the Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata. Born Anjeze Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in Skopje, she devoted her life to serving the poor, sick, and dying, especially those abandoned by ordinary social care. Her most widely read works and collections include No Greater Love, A Simple Path, and Come Be My Light, which revealed both her public devotion and private spiritual struggle. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, she remains one of the most recognizable religious figures of the twentieth century. Mother Teresa matters because she made mercy concrete through daily service, even as her methods and legacy have been debated. Her quotes are valued for their directness about love, small acts, poverty, and the discipline of seeing dignity in the unwanted.

Collected Quotes

All quotes by Mother Teresa

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

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

Love is a fruit in season at all times

We can do no great things, only small things with great love

I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love

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

Death is nothing else but going home to God, the bond of love will be unbroken for all eternity

You can do things that I cannot do. I can do things that you cannot do. Together we can do great things

Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own home. Give love to your children, to a wife or husband, to a next-door neighbor

Peace begins with a smile

A joyful heart is the normal result of a heart burning with love. Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of Christ Risen.
