Mother Teresa was an inspiration for many people around the world, as she devoted her life to millions of needy and vulnerable people. Her selflessness and service made her a symbol of love, peace and compassion. She won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. For her whole life she worked tirelessly for the poor in Kolkata and across the world. Mother Teresa was born in Skopje, in North Macedonia and spent most of her life in India. She started an organisation named Missionaries of Charity, for people suffering from HIV/AIDS, leprosy and Tuberculosis. In 1962, she was awarded Ramon Magsaysay for her contribution to the society.
Some of the inspirational quotes by her are as follows:
