most terrible poverty
Han Mi Seon
Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
Mother Teresa
Top Ten Mother Teresa Quotes
#1 "If you judge people, you have no time to love them."
#2 "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."
#3 "Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it."
#4 "Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired."
#5 "Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless."
#6 "Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting."
#7 "God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try."
#8 "Humility is the mother of all virtues; purity, charity and obedience. It is in being humble that our love becomes real, devoted and ardent. If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are. If you are blamed you will not be discouraged. If they call you a saint you will not put yourself on a pedestal."
#9 "In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love."
#10 "We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty."
