Small and diminutive in size and stature, she made up for it in her zeal and dedication to the people she loved and helped\u2014most often those who were seen as outcasts and marginalized by their communities. When the devoted nun of Albanian descent won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, she donated her entire cash prize to the poor in India.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed css-0 e9hzx6g0\" data-node-id=\"2\" data-embed=\"pullquote\">\n<blockquote class=\"css-1eiql25 e1bvbn981\">\n<blockquote class=\"css-xt0dmu e1bvbn980\"><p>\u201cNOT ALL OF US CAN DO GREAT THINGS. BUT WE CAN DO SMALL THINGS WITH GREAT LOVE.\u201d \u2014 MOTHER TERESA<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\" data-node-id=\"3\">In her long life, she touched the lives of millions through her presence and acts of charity, as well as the truths she shared from her experience of faith. As someone who embodied the servant nature of Christ, being his hands and feet to others, she left us with enduring wisdom to inspire our faith. In her words and especially in her actions, we see that a life of love\u2014however big or small, quiet or recognised\u2014is significant, meaningful, and powerful.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-18vfmjb et3p2gv0\" data-node-id=\"5\">Reflect on these quotes by Mother Teresa throughout your day-to-day. Share one in a note to a friend to\u00a0encourage\u00a0them. Or print and display one in your home or office cubicle to keep her wisdom top of mind. After all, the small things you do in love today can and will change tomorrow.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"body-h2 css-63tsrv et3p2gv0\" data-node-id=\"6\">Mother Teresa Quotes<\/h2>\n<div class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-zfwcs9 e1xqj1sx4\" data-embed=\"body-image\" data-node-id=\"8\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1xqj1sx3\">\n<div class=\"css-5rebs2 ewcw41w0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lqip lazyloaded css-0 e1lki9i00 lazyautosizes ls-is-cached\" title=\"mother teresa quotes\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/mother-teresa-quotes1-1645411199.jpg?resize=480:*\" alt=\"mother teresa quotes\" width=\"5340\" height=\"3576\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<section id=\"article-ad-breaker-leaderboard-0-wrapper\" class=\"breaker-ad\" data-type=\"breaker-ad\">\n<div class=\"gpt-breaker-container breaker-ad clearfix css-1lttmkl e152u5os0\">\n<div class=\"css-psnvo3 e1v257yr0\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"article-ad-breaker-leaderboard-0\" class=\"ad-container css-14b96eg e1hka4w80\">\n<div id=\"gpt_lb_0\" class=\"gpt-adslot noskim\" data-google-query-id=\"COvC0IDgmfsCFQRmFQgdyq0ODA\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/36117602\/hdmuk-countryliving\/life\/breaker_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"css-1rk79nl et3p2gv0\" data-node-id=\"9\">\n<li>\u201cIf you judge people, you have no time to love them.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cPeace\u00a0begins with a smile.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWe fear the future because we are wasting today.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cNot all of us can do great things.
