Waging WAR on Ignorance, Intolerance & Injustice!
“Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.” — Mother Teresa
(Oh, that we all should behave this way! There is just so much fear and animosity in the world these days. Maybe, the best thing we could all do is to turn off all the news, and just try to be a little more human to each other. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“It is not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” — Mother Teresa
(We should all strive to be as charitable as we financially can, but there are other ways we can give to others too. Volunteering your time is a great way to give back, to your community, or to the needy. Also, just treating those less fortunate than you with compassion is a way of putting love into your giving. Making eye contact, and smiling, and the simple act of a few kind words, can make someone feel that they’re still part of humanity. So, give what you can. And remember the old saying: There but for the grace of God go I. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Happy birthday to Natalie Merchant, this time with 10,000 Maniacs!
“Each of us feels that we are just a drop in the ocean, but the ocean would be less without that missing drop.” — Mother Teresa

“Love begins by taking care of the closest ones – the ones at home.” — Mother Teresa
(It’s a good thing this quote came from Mama T, because if not for the author’s name I would have struggled even more in getting this one. I figured the G was the E, and that the LCG was THE, but it wasn’t until I saw the LCG in MOTHER that I was able to put it all together. Be well and do good, friends . . . at home, behind closed doors, as well out in the light of day.) — YUR
PS. Thanks for nothing, Zemanta! — YUR

“I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.” — Mother Teresa
(Very few – if any – ever gave more love than Mother Teresa! I’m going to take her word on this. I think we all should try loving until it hurts. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.” — Mother Teresa
The Sanctification of Mother Teresa (Photo credit: Dead Air)
(I guess she’d be the one to know. She fed, cared for, and gave solace and comfort to the poor, the sick and the dying. Most of us just write the occasional check to CARE, UNICEF, Feed The Children, what-have-you and that’s about it. She got down and dirty with the people that society had chosen to forget, just to give them a sense of dignity, hope and love. She was one of the shining examples of what humanity is supposed to be. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
“Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.” — Mother Teresa
(Laughing is always good for you, but smiling benefits everybody! Never concern yourself with laugh lines and crow’s feet, and the like. They are all signs of a happy and generous nature.) — YUR

(Keep positive, folks! Whenever I need a lift I listen to: ‘You Get What You Give” – by the New Radicals. Great song of optimism!) — YUR

“Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.” — Mother Teresa
(Apparently, Mother Teresa was a fan of Emily Dickinson‘s : “If you take care of the small things, the big things take care of themselves. You can gain more control over your life by paying closer attention to the little things.”) — YUR
