    So many signatures for such a small heart.
    —Mother Teresa (b. 1910)

    If sometimes our poor people have had to die of starvation, it is not that God didn’t care for them, but because you and I didn’t give, were not an instrument of love in the hands of God, to give them that bread, to give them that clothing; because we did not recognize him, when once more Christ came in distressing disguise, in the hungry man, in the lonely man, in the homeless child, and seeking for shelter.
    —Mother Teresa (b. 1910)

    St. Teresa of Avila described our life in this world as like a night at a second-class hotel.
    Malcolm Muggeridge (1903–1990)
