Dove

Pure compassion and selfless peace made flesh on earth.

Mother Teresa devoted her entire life to the poorest of the poor in Calcutta, embodying the dove's defining qualities of gentle peacemaking, idealism, and principled love above all else. She consistently chose diplomacy and moral clarity over confrontation, famously saying 'If you judge people, you have no time to love them.' Her calm, harmonious presence and unwavering humanitarian mission made her the world's most recognizable symbol of peace and selfless service.
