An inspiring legendary woman, Mother Teresa has touched numerous lives with her lifelong devotion to the vulnerable and neediest people of the community. She has brought the new face of charity in the world, and her sacrifice, love, compassion and kindness made her an international symbol of ‘charitable work’. In 2016, the Roman Catholic Church canonized her as Saint Teresa.
She has found her inspiration through Catholic teachings but earned admiration and affection in her community centres of Kolkata where people preach her as their own ‘Mother’. She was a precious soul who respects each religion and beliefs and provides services to each needy above religious divisions.
Her ultimate devotion made her win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 that inspired many other personalities to be a better person in their lives. In honour of the late Mother Teresa, we have gathered some quotes that spread the word on peace, love, and service.
