Famous quotes containing the word teresa:

    “There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in—that we do it to God, to Christ, and that’s why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.”
    —Mother Teresa (b. 1910)

    “There should be less talk; a preaching point is not a meeting point. What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone’s house. That says enough.”
    —Mother Teresa (b. 1910)

    “Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.”
    —Mother Teresa (b. 1910)
