Inspiring Mother Teresa Quotes
This page of Mother Teresa quotes is a source of simple inspiration by Mother Teresa, a great woman, who dedicated her life to service to humanity, and the poorest among the poor.
Mother Teresa (1910-1997) was a woman of strong Christian faith, but she was not afraid to challenge some preconceived ideas about life. I deeply admire her willingness to heed and follow her own conscience, even when it raised some conflicts with what was expected of her. My main reason to dedicate this page to Mother Teresa is because the many inspiring quotes by Mother Teresa that will give you wisdom and understanding for humanity.

This motivational message, attributed to Mother Teresa, has been inscribed on the wall of her Children's Home in Calcutta. Original author is Kent M. Keith:"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.
What you spend years of building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway." Beautiful and so true, don't you think so?
