A Bit of Wisdom from Mother Teresa on Her Birthday

“Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.” ~ Mother Teresa 26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997

“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.” ~ Mother Teresa 26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997

“The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.” ~ Mother Teresa 26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997

“Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.” ~ Mother Teresa 26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997

“Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.” ~ Mother Teresa 26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997

“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.” ~ Mother Teresa 26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997

“We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.” ~ Mother Teresa 26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997

“The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.” ~ Mother Teresa 26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997
