Love, compassion and inspiring: Let these wise words by Mother Teresa guide you

On the occasion of canonisation of Mother Teresa, which means she will now be known as Saint Teresa of Kolkata, we look at the inspiring words and teachings that the world can learn from. Born on 26 August 1910, Mother Teresa passed away on 5 September 1997, leaving behind a legacy of compassion and humanity like no other. She worked to help those whom even the poorest would shun, and make sure they lived their life with dignity. Though she is being canonised after almost two decades of her demise, to most people who knew her, she is already a saint. Here is a glimpse of the ideology she lived by and wisdom that would show the path to light even on the darkest of days. (Source: Reuters)
