AGARTALA, Aug 26 (TIWN): Like every year, Tripura also remembered the great soul Mother Teresa on her 109th birth anniversary. Mother Teresa's birth anniversary was observed in Agartala’s Nirmala Sishu Bhawan with full devotion.

Canonised on September 4, 2016, Saint Teresa Of Calcutta better known as Mother Teresa was born in Skopje on August 26, 1910. The founder of Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, Teresa received a number of honours during her lifetime including the Ramon Magsaysay Peace Prize in 1962 and Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.

Here are Mother Teresa’s motivational quotes :

1. We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
2. We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.
3. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
4. Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.
5. Peace begins with a smile.
6. We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
7. Joy is prayer; joy is strength: joy is love; joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
