Mother Teresa, born on August 26, 1910, in Skopje (now North Macedonia), was a revered humanitarian and Catholic nun. Her unwavering dedication to serving the poorest of the poor made her an iconic figure of compassion and selflessness. Founding the Missionaries of Charity in 1950, Mother Teresa and her order provided care and support to those in need, particularly in Kolkata, India. She tirelessly worked towards alleviating poverty, caring for the sick and dying, and advocating for the marginalized. Mother Teresa’s profound impact and lifelong commitment to serving others earned her numerous awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. Her legacy of love, kindness, and empathy continues to inspire people worldwide, reminding us of the profound difference one person can make in the lives of others.
Peace begins with a smile.

Intense love does not measure; it just gives
Mother Teresa
I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.
Mother Teresa
If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Mother Teresa
Unless a life is lived for others, it is not worthwhile
Mother Teresa
We can do not great things – only small things with great love.
Mother Teresa
Love is a fruit in season at all times, and in reach of every hand.
Mother Teresa
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
Mother Teresa
We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.
Mother Teresa
The most terrible poverty is loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved.
Mother Teresa
We cannot do great things on this Earth, only small things with great love.
Mother Teresa
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
Mother Teresa
Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
Mother Teresa
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Mother Teresa
There is more hunger in the world for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.
Mother Teresa
Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do… but how much love we put in that action.
Mother Teresa
Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
Mother Teresa
I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
Mother Teresa
Love has a hem to her garment that reaches the very dust. It sweeps the streets and lanes, and because it can, it must.
Mother Teresa
If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
Mother Teresa
The success of love is in the loving – it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.
Mother Teresa
I never look at the masses as my responsibility; I look at the individual. I can only love one person at a time – just one, one, one. So you begin. I began – I picked up one person. Maybe if I didn’t pick up that one person, I wouldn’t have picked up forty-two thousand….The same thing goes for you, the same thing in your family, the same thing in your church, your community. Just begin – one, one, one.
Mother Teresa
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Mother Teresa
