| Mother Teresa’s death anniversary: Top 10 inspirational quotes on International Day of Charity |
The present-day capital of Macedonia, Skopje, is where she was born on August 26, 1910. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her outstanding achievements in the fight against world poverty. Mother Teresa left her position as leader of the Missionaries of Charity, the religious order she founded, on March 13, 1997. On September 5 of that same year, she passed away.
The Indian government gave Mother Teresa a state funeral in honour of her remarkable devotion to the underprivileged, irrespective of their religious affiliations. The International Day of Charity was established on September 5 in her memory by the United Nations.
Here are ten inspirational quotes from Mother Teresa on the International Day of Charity:
1. "Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier."
2. "If you can't feed a hundred people, then just feed one."
3. "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."
4. "Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless."
5. "Peace begins with a smile."
6. "The greatest science in the world; in heaven and on earth; is love."
7. "Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person."
8. "Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love."
9. "Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing."
10. "It's not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving."
These quotes reflect Mother Teresa's dedication to charity and love for humanity.
