I was thinking about grace, and was looking for a simple, over-the-counter cure for chronic selfishness. I found some quotes from Mother Teresa.
"Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.”
"We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop."
"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."
"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other."
"I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God."
"One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody."
"I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love."
"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, People may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, They may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway."
