Mother Theresa

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People are often unreasonable and self-centered.

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.

Be kind anyway.

If you are honest, people may cheat you.

Be honest anyway.

If you find happiness, people may be jealous.

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough.

Give your best anyway.

For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.

It was never between you and them anyway.

It is easy to love the people far away.

It is not always easy to love those close to us.

It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger

than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home.

Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.

 

 

 

Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush,

anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on,

so that children have very little time for their parents.

Parents have very little time for each other,

and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world.

 

 

 

The fruit of Silence is Prayer.

The fruit of Prayer is Faith.

the fruit of Faith is Love.

The fruit of Love is Service.

The Fruit of Service is Peace.

 

 

 

When asked, "What can

we do to promote world peace?"

Her answer was simple:

"Go home and love your family."

 

 

 

I love all religions, but I am in love with my own.
