60+ Best Quotes by Mother Teresa part 5 of 5 | Kindness and Generosity

Mother Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu(born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, Albanian; 26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997), honored in the Catholic Church as Saint Teresa of Calcutta, was an Albanian-Indian Roman Catholic nun and missionary. 

In 1950, Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious congregation that had over 4,500 nuns and was active in 133 countries in 2012. The congregation manages homes for people who are dying of HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis. It also runs soup kitchens, dispensaries, mobile clinics, children's and family counselling programmes, as well as orphanages and schools. Members take vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience, and also profess a fourth vow – to give "wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor." 

Mother Teresa was an inspiration to countless millions for her lifelong devotion to the neediest and most vulnerable of the world. The selflessness and sacrifice with which she lived her own life made her an international symbol of charitable work, and the love and compassion she showed the destitute of all faiths received a number of honors, including the 1962 Ramon Magsaysay Peace Prize and 1979 Nobel Peace Prize. She was canonised on 4 September 2016, and the anniversary of her death (5 September) is her feast day.

Mother Teresa's Quotes:

1. “Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you.”


2. “I want you to be concerned about your next-door neighbor. Do you know your next-door neighbor?”


3. “Let us not be satisfied with just giving money.
   Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them.
   So, spread your love everywhere you go.”


4. “If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.”


5. “It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.”


6. “It is a kingly act to assist the fallen.”


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


8. “I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot;
   together we can do great things.”


9. “Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.”


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