At the end of life

"At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have

received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have

done.

We will be judged by 'I was hungry and you gave me to eat, I was naked

and you clothed me, I was homeless and you took me in.'

Hungry not only for bread -- but hungry for love. Naked not only for

clothing -- but naked for human dignity and respect. Homeless not only

for want of a room of bricks -- but homeless because of rejection."

Mother Teresa, 1910 1997

Roman Catholic Missionary

1997 Nobel Peace Prize Winner
