More from Mother Teresa

Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.

More on kindness

Treat all men alike. Give them all the same law. Give them all an even chance to live and grow.

1900s

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

Mother Teresa

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

I do not agree with a big way of doing things. What matters is the individual.

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.

No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it for any one else.

Charles Dickens

There is only one enduring happiness in life — to live for others.

Among individuals, as among nations, respect for the rights of others is peace.

As to diseases, make a habit of two things — to help, or at least, to do no harm.

The quality of mercy is not strain'd, it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven.

William Shakespeare
