Mother Teresa knew what she was talking about

Quotes from Mother Teresa (HT: Barbara Curtis, mother of 12 at Mommy Life):

God doesn't ask that we succeed in everything, but that we are faithful. However beautiful our work may be, let us not become attached to it. Always remain prepared to give it up, without losing your peace.

Let anyone who comes to you go away feeling better and happier. Every one should see goodness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile. Joy shows from the eyes. It appears when we speak and walk. It cannot be kept closed inside us. It reacts outside. Joy is very infectious..

Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.

We are at Jesus' disposal. If he wants you to be sick in bed, if he wants you to proclaim His work in the street, if he wants you to clean the toilets all day, that's all right, everything is all right. We must say, "I belong to you. You can do whatever you like." And this is our strength. This is the joy of the Lord.

Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.

Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.

God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try.

If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

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