celebrating life

“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” 
― Mother Teresa

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

“Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.” 
― Mother Teresa

“Love to be real, it must cost—it must hurt—it must empty us of self.” 
― Mother Teresa

“Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.” 
― Mother Teresa

“Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.” 
― Mother Teresa

“The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.” 
― Mother Teresa

“Live simply so others may simply live.” 
― Mother Teresa

“If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.” 
― Mother Teresa
