"Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go."
Mother Teresa (26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997)

Mother Teresa made a strong impact on me when I was a young boy. I do remember that there were alot of jokes flying around at the time she received The Nobel Peace Price in 1979. I guess, because people really did not know what she was up too. For over 45 years she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying, while guiding the Missionaries of Charity's expansion, first throughout India and then in other countries. In this blog post I have written down a few of he her qutoes. When you read them, I guess you and I have to stop, think and readjust. What a great inspiration she was, and still is. Please read more about her at wikipedia.


"Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty."

"Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action."
Mother Teresa

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless."
Mother Teresa

"Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand."
Mother Teresa

"One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody."
Mother Teresa

A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the
airplane when the stranger turned to her and said,
'Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you

strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.'

The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed
it slowly and said to the stranger, 'What would you
like to talk about?'

'Oh, I don't know,' said the stranger. 'How about
nuclear power?' and he smiles.

OK, ' she said. 'That could be an interesting topic.
But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow,
and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass - . Yet a
deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a
flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried
grass. Why do you suppose that is?'

The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl's
intelligence, thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have
no idea.'

To which the little girl replies, 'Do you really feel
qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't
know shit?

Igot this from a friend of mine. You have probably heard it before, but anyway.
