Man can never be a woman's equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her.

If a man does not work at necessary and good things, then he will work at unnecessary and stupid things.

Give love, give help, give service, and give any little thing you can, but keep out barter.

Service to man is service to god.

Brothers, Fathers and Sisters - all of us in the Missionaries of Charity are doing the same. All of us have been created by God to love and to be loved. We are involved in this work. When you do that, there is joy, unity and love.

Love cannot remain by itself - it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action, and that action is service. Whatever form we are, able or disabled, rich or poor, it is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing; a lifelong sharing of love with others.
