mistakes in kindness

“I prefer you to make mistakes in kindness than work miracles in unkindness.” -Mother Teresa

we have only today

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin. - Mother Teresa

do small things with love

I don't do great things. I do small things with great love.
- Mother Teresa

Do it anyway

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.
- Mother Teresa

a little pencil

I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.
- Mother Teresa
