I visited a blog today and while I was there browsing around I saw a quote of Mother Teresa's, the first one found here, and I was reminded that her quotes are worth remembering and sharing with others---they bear repeating over and over and over again, endlessly. Here are some of my favorite quotes:
“People are often unreasonable and self-centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you; be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous; be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow; do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough; give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway.”
“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”
“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.”
“Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.”
“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”
“At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by "I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.”
...and let me end with this quote...
“May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us." ...”
And May God Bless Us Everyone!
