MotherTeresa

Mother Teresa Please don't kill the child.

I want the child. Please give me the child. I am willing to accept any child who would be aborted, and to give that child to a married couple who will love the child, and be loved by the child. From our children's home in Calcutta alone, we have saved over 3000 children

In Calcutta

People suffer. They

have forgotten how to smile, they have forgotten the beauty of the human touch. They need someone who will understand and respect them.

Mother Teresa

I am grateful to accept the Nobel Prize

in the name of the hungry, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, of all those people who feel unwanted, unloved and uncared-for throughout society, people shunned by everyone.

T S Eliot

We shall not cease from explorationAnd the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we first startedAnd know the place for the first time.

Amartya Sen about TS Eliot

Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?

Where is the life we have lost in the living?

The Nobel School

You cannot evaluate what is happening in an economy or a society without looking at people who are on the downside and not just those who are doing well and prospering.
