Hi everyone,

I couldn't think of a better place to post this thread in.
I recently found some quotes of Mother Teresa that inspired me.
Here are some of them that I like best and all of them can be found on this site:
http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/m/mother_teresa.html

Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.

Good works are links that form a chain of love.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

Intense love does not measure, it just gives.

It is a kingly act to assist the fallen.

In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.

It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.

Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.

Peace begins with a smile.

There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in - that we do it to God, to Christ, and that's why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.

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.

We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.

Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.

Hope you'll like them as much as I did.
all the best :)
