Thoughts on Love from Mother Theresa


" 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"


" It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving."


" There is a terrible hunger for love. We all experience that in our lives - the pain, the loneliness. We must have the courage to recognize it. The poor you may have right in your own family. Find them. Love them. "



"Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired."



"I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love. "



"If we 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."



"Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God - the rest will be given."
