21 " Let us all smile at each other for a smile is the beginning of love. "
― Mother Teresa
22 " 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. "
23 " Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need, not more. "
24 " Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. "
25 " Profound joy of the heart is like a magnet that indicates the path of life. "
26 " Do we know our poor people? Do we know the poor in our house, in our family? Perhaps they are not hungry for a piece of bread. Perhaps our children, husband, wife, are not hungry, or naked, or dispossessed, but are you sure there is no one there who feels unwanted, deprived of affection? "
― Mother Teresa , Heart of Joy
27 " I held the Host with two fingers and thought: How small Jesus made Himself, in order to show us that He doesn't expect great things of us, but rather little things with great love. "
28 " We are all pencils in the hand of God. "
29 " Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin. "
30 " I used to pray that God would feed the hungry, or do this or that, but now I pray that he will guide me to do whatever I'm supposed to do, what I can do. I used to pray for answers, but now I'm praying for strength. I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us and we change things. "
31 " A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, and must empty ourselves. Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in his love than in your weakness. "
32 " I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples. "
33 " God hasn't called us to be successful, just faithful. "
34 " We do not need guns and bombs to bring peace, we need love and compassion. "

35 " In the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world. "
36 " Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. "
37 " Let us make one point, that we meet each other with a smile, when it is difficult to smile. Smile at each other, make time for each other in your family. "
38 " The way you help heal the world is you start with your own family. "
39 " If I look at the mass I will never act. "
40 " Joy is strength. "
