My Favorite Quotes by Mother Teresa

I am going through a huge “inspirational quote” kick lately.  I have this obsession with creating graphics with my favorite quotes.  It is no surprise that many of my favorite quotes come from Mother Teresa.

On another note, I am dying to see the movie The Letters about the life of Mother Teresa (you can see the trailer here).  I am a protestant Christian and don’t understand some of the traditions of Catholicism, but I certainly revere and respect the intense love and compassion this incredible woman of God demonstrated in her lifetime.

Here are just a few of my favorite quotes by Mother Teresa:

“One filled with joy preaches without preaching.”  -Mother Teresa

“Yesterday is gone.  Tomorrow has not yet come.  We have only today.  Let us begin.”  -Mother Teresa

Not all of us can do great things.  But we can do small things with great love.”  -Mother Teresa

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

“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.”  -Mother Teresa

“If you want to bring happiness to the whole world, go home and love your family.”  -Mother Teresa

“I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.”  -Mother Teresa

“A life not lived for others is not a life.”  -Mother Teresa
