Voice of the Day: Mother Teresa

It is not enough for us to say: "I love God, but I do not love my neighbor." Saint John says that you are a liar if you love God and you don't love your neighbor. How can you love God whom you do not see, if you do not love your neighbor whom you see, whom you touch, with whom you live? And so this is very important for us to realize, that love, to be true, has to hurt.

- Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa, Nobel Prize acceptance speech, 1979
