Mother Teresa's famous quote:
(1) If I ever become a Saint, I will surely be one of 'darkness'. I will continually be absent from Heaven to light the light of those in darkness on earth.
(2) Do ordinary things with extraordinary love.
(3) Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
(4) We fear the future because we are wasting the today.
(5) The future is so much in the hands of God, I find it much more easy to accept today because yesterday is gone and tomorrow has not come and I have only today. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is the future, only today.
(6) We have been created for greater things, to love and be loved. Our great initiative: to love and to be loved.
