Quote DB :: Authors :: Mother Teresa :: View Quote View Quote "I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love." - Copy to Clipboard   --  Mother Teresa Listed in: Love Add Quote To Your Quote List   Rating: 4.88  Rate Quote 41 votes submitted Your Name: Friend's Email: Sponsored Links Top 5 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." "I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much." "Peace begins with a smile." "People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway. Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway." Top 5 quotes from Love "Where there is no exaggeration there is no love, and where there is no love there is no understanding." "Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings." "I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love." "Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." "Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained."
