"What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family."
"I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love."
"It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish."
"Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you."
"Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat."
"Each one of them is Jesus in disguise."
"In the West there is a tendency to be profit-oriented, where everything is measured according to the results and we get caught up in being more and more active to generate results. In the East -- especially in India -- I find that people are more content to just be, to just sit around under a banyan tree for half a day chatting to each other. Westerners would probably call that wasting time. But there is value to it. Being with someone, listening without a clock and without anticipation of results, teaches us about love. The success of love is in the loving -- it is not in the result of loving. "
"Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies."
"Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go."
"Live simply so others may simply live."

Love it...What a wise woman :)
Very wise indeed :)
Her words seem to cut through all my made-up justifications as to why I'm so "helpless" and just seem to say, start small. Which is something we can all do.
