Mother Teresa
“Holiness is not the luxury of a few. It is everyone's duty: yours and mine.” –Mother Teresa
“Holiness does not consist in doing extraordinary things. It consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends us. It consists in accepting and following the will of God. Prayer makes your heart bigger, until it is capable of containing the gift of God Himself.” –Mother Teresa
“Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at his disposition, and listening to his voice in the depths of our hearts.” –Mother Teresa
“What is a Christian? someone asked a Hindu man. He responded: "a Christian is someone who gives"”–Mother Teresa

“Today it is fashionable to talk about the poor. Unfortunately it is not fashionable to talk with them.”–Mother Teresa
“When we touch the sick and needy, we touch the suffering body of Christ. If there are poor in the moon, we will go there too.” –Mother Teresa

“There should be less talk; a preaching point is not a meeting point. What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough.”–Mother Teresa
“God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try”–Mother Teresa
“What we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. I do not agree with the big way of doing things.”–Mother Teresa
