There is a non-technical way to travel in time: Try to create religious generations in your country, then you will certainly travel back in time, into the old eras!
~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
The greatest hero for a country is the person who gave a progressive vision, a peaceful soul, a modern mind and an unshakable belief in science to his nation. And for the Turks, this honorable name is Atatürk, an immortal revolutionist!
Yes, fascism is a horrible storm, but the storm prepares his own death by receiving fatal wounds while hitting the things he is destroying!
Unless you accept anyone to be your boss, no man can be your boss!
Sometimes there is no time to wait for the sea to calm down! If you have to reach your target, let your voyage start and let the storm be your path!
When the unexpected meets with the unprepared, over there we find the greatest astonishments!
Old people deserves a medal, a medal of existence which crowns their long-term victory against the cruelty of time and the dangers of this chaotic universe!
When we are under a tree, we are under a temple, a temple of countless goodnesses!
In any country where there is a dishonorable government, there is certainly a dishonorable nation!
Without seeing the whole picture and without knowing the whole story of a man’s life, our judgements about him will most probably be wrong and unfair!
All we need to know about the storms is this: Storms are born, they live and they die! And they destroy anything wildly, just like we do in wars!
Plains watch the mountains and mountains watch the plains. Through looks, everything touches everything, even though they have many kilometers or even light years between them!
Similar souls wander in the similar places! They may not know each other, but often they touch the same winds, they step on the same leaves, their looks are lost in the same horizons!
By being rigid, you become temporary; by being flexible, you become permanent!
No matter how developed it is, a country which does not protects its own wild life can never be called as a civilized country!
For a clever man, different cultures, different lives, different attitudes, different dreams, different of everything are a good teacher! You only take the things you already know from somebody or something like you!
The more you spend time in a herd, the more you will move away from yourself! So you must move away from your herd to get closer to yourself, to find your true self you have lost in the herd!
In the future, churches, mosques, synagogues and temples, all of them will be museums! The intellectual progression of humanity will necessitate such a drastic and dramatic change in the human history!
Not every lost soul wants to be found, because not every lost is lost, some of them found something or many thing or even everything in their lostness!
If you want to look after your shadow, you just have to look after yourself, that will do!
For an incurious person, an open door will be no different than a wall!
There are two groups of people: Herds and individual clever people. Because herds have numerical superiority, individual clever people remain weak in determining the right fate for the country! The solution: Disperse the herds, augment the individuals!
If you speak, that is rain; if you speak too much, that is flood!
Unless you close your door to other ideas, you will never remain idealess!
For the contented minds, lakes are oceans!
For a stairs to be safe, every step on that stairs has to be safe!
They want you to use a black umbrella; use yellow, use red, use green and always refuse the thing they want you to use! Refusal is often more honourable than conformity!
For a weak person, every little hill is a giant mountain; for a strong person, every giant mountain is a little hill!
When you do something, you miss something else! If you don’t want to miss anything, you have to do everything!
Sovereignty unconditionally belongs neither to the people of the nation nor to some supernatural power but to the human mind, to the science and to the high ethical values!
When an empty person sits on an empty chair, the chair will still remain empty!
Life and death; there is no bridge between the two; they are stuck to each other! Death is only a step away from us, no more, only one step!
A bird without wings and a man without art are both condemned to wander in low places, they can never soar up to those unrivalled heights.
We live in a crowded and stifling world, my dear sir; just to be able to walk, we have to push and shove others willy nilly!
I think this man is a bit crazy, but aren’t we all a little crazy anyway?
A big city is a big ocean, the one who doesn’t know how to swim finds himself at its bottom!
What we call debt is a hump on our backs; it is an awkward load that crushes one; and loads are carried only by stupid animals, by camels, mules, and donkeys; the back of an intelligent person is flat!
How can you get giants out of a dwarf, my good chap? Can a thrush lay eagle’s egg? Can a dolphin give birth to a whale?
When chasing a hare, you must have more than one greyhounds about you; when one of them has failed, my dear neighbour, you call to the next ‘Get it!
Between birth and death, neighbour, there is no business that is not risky; drinking water in a sitting position included! . . The gist of the matter is to do everything with fine tuning as an acrobat does when walking a tight rope, like a carpenter measuring everything meticulously!
