For a woman who was diminutive in stature, Mother Theresa was not short on words. She is perhaps the most quotable modern saint we have, often using plain language.
She also practiced The Quiet Life as evidenced by this gem:
“There are a few ways to practice humility: to speak as little as possible of one’s self. To mind one’s own business. Not to want to manage other people’s affairs. To avoid curiosity. To accept contradictions and correction cheerfully. To pass over the mistakes of others. To accept insults and injuries. To accept being slighted, forgotten and disliked. To be kind and gentle even under provocation.”
