Mother Teresa speaks constantly of the need for humility, both in thought and lifestyle. She has been quoted as saying, "Before we can have ... peace, we must learn from Jesus to be kind and humble of heart. Only humility can bring us to unity, and unity to peace. Therefore, let us help one another to draw so near to Jesus that we can learn with joy the lesson of humility .... I believe that is the only thing that can bring peace .... To this end we all try to speak more to God and with God, and less to men and with men. Let us preach peace as Christ did. He went about doing good everywhere. He did not stop his words of charity because the Pharisees or others opposed him and tried to destroy the work of his Father." This indefatigable worker has also said, "At death we will not be judged by the amount of work we did, but by the love we put into it. And this love must come from self-sacrifice and be felt until it hurts." -- Herrmann
