Wisdom from Mother Teresa

• God doesn't require us to succeed He only
  requires that you try.
• I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast
  a stone across the waters to create many
  ripples.
• If we have no peace, it is because we have
  forgotten that we belong to each other.
• Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but
  their echoes are truly endless.

Wisdom from Mother Teresa

• Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream,
  realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is
  a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it.
  Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow,
  overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a
  struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront
  it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck,
  make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
  Life is life, fight for it.
• Live simply so others may simply live.
• The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
  Do good anyway.
• One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to
  anybody.
