On the anniversary of Mother Teresas birth on Aug. 26, 1910, here are some of her most inspiring quotes: I see God in every human being. When I wash the lepers wounds I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience? - From a 1974 interview. The poor give us much more than we give them. Theyre such strong people, living day to day with no food. And they never curse, never complain. We dont have to give them pity or sympathy. We have so much to learn from them. - From a 1977 interview. I choose the poverty of our poor people. But I am grateful to receive it (the Nobel) in the name of the hungry, the naked, the homeless, of the crippled, of the blind, of the lepers, of all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone. - She said when accepting the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 I have never been in a war before, but I have seen famine and death. I was asking (myself) what do they feel when they do this? I dont understand it. They are all children of God. Why do they do it. I dont understand. - Beirut, 1982, during fighting between the Israeli army and Palestinian guerrillas.
