Yesterday is gone.  Tomorrow has not yet come.  We have only today.  Let us begin.

The more we receive in our silent prayer, the more we have to share in our active life.  Silence gives us a new way of looking at everything.  We need this silence in order to touch souls.  The important thing is not what we say, but what God says to us and what He says through us.

Do small things with great love.  It's not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing; and it is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.  To God, nothing is small; the moment we have given it to God, it becomes infinite.

Stay where you are - find your own Calcutta.  Find the sick, the suffering, the lonely, right there where you are - in your own homes and in your own families, in your workplaces and schools.

You can find Calcutta all over the world, if you have eyes to see.  Everywhere, whever you go, you find people who are unwanted, unloved, uncared for, just rejected by the society - completely forgotten, completely left alone.  That is the greatest poverty of the rich countries.
