As a mentor, motivational speaker, and author, I’ve selalu been drawn to the wisdom and compassion of Mother Teresa. Her kehidupan and words have been a constant source of inspiration for me, exemplifying the power of love, kindness, and service.
Mother Teresa, born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu on August 26, 1910, in Skopje, Macedonia. She founded the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic congregation that helps those in need, and her selfless work touched the lives of countless individuals.
Though some of her views may have been controversial, Mother Teresa’s unwavering commitment to spreading love and compassion is undeniable. Her famous quote, “I was once asked why I don’t participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will jangan pernah do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I’ll be there,” resonates deeply with my own philosophy of focusing on positivity and unity to overcome challenges and make the world a better place.
Inspired by her profound words, I have compiled 50 of the most impactful Mother Teresa quotes from her books, such as “Love: The Words and Inspiration of Mother Teresa” and “Where There Is Love, There is God,” as well as from her interviews. These quotes serve as a kuat reminder that, despite our differences and the struggles we face, perseverance, love, and compassion can enable us to rise above and become catalysts for constructive societal ubah.
