Whenever we look at a photograph, the memories in the photograph become our memories as well!
~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
The wiser you become, the lesser you will be surprised!
A silver-tongued charlatan and a half-wit society are made for each other! When these two come together in an election, a great disaster happens: Charlatan comes to power!
It is a privilege to exist, it is a privilege to live and all this made possible by our Earth, our beautiful warm home in this cold universe! If you are a man of high moral standing, you will protect the Earth with all your heart! Earth is the only real holy temple on earth! The more we love the earth, the more we will be loved by the earth!
If a nation wants to be deceived, let it be deceived! Through this way, they will learn the truth after many deceptions and pains! Truth and time are the greatest teachers, they are the greatest instructors!
What adjective can be used for a nation who is consistently fooled, recurrently deceived by the crafty politicians? Goofy? Very light! Fool? Not enough! Brainless? Yes, that is the very adjective!
There are some ignorant and immoral politicians, the more they win the elections the more their countries lose! Their victory always results in the defeat and the collapse of the whole country!
In a petty theft you steal money, gold etc.; in an electoral theft you steal the future of a country! The second crime can be committed only by the meanest people! Such a heavy crime results in a heavy price!
In matters of love: When giving, be generous! When taking, be thankful!
The burden of a porter is temporary, but the burden of a crooked politician is permanent because his conscience always carry the enormous burden of his frauds!
To see the hidden, you hide yourself too!
If you are obliged to do something inevitable, don’t lose time to think about it, do it right away!
If you are a kind and a peaceful person, you will see yourself when you look at an elegant flower!
If we keep telling that life is unfair but do nothing serious about it, then life will forever continue to remain unfair!
When a shadow looks very beautiful, we forget to look at its owner!
People seem to be doing different things, but in reality they do the same thing: They just rush about without having any outstanding universal goal!
If you do not have a cause, then you have nothing at all! Get a cause and march with that cause!
Challenge is an art; you must know whom to challenge, how to challenge and when to challenge well, otherwise defeat becomes the inevitable fate!
The things you escape have the ability to catch you, one or other day! Stop running away! Meet them and defeat them!
To wish a life without stairs, without hills and mountains is to wish a dim life without the joy of rising with our own efforts!
When you need a helping hand, look inside you before anywhere else!
It is always easy to create an ordinary city; what is difficult is to create an extraordinary one, peaceful and restful one, smart and tidy, artful and cultivated one, in short, a livable one! And Zurich is such a city!
Reflection is a blessing and reflection happens not only when one sees himself on a mirror or on the windowpane or on a puddle, but it also happens when someone criticises you! In every true critique made on you, you will see yourself and you will obtain a good chance to make corrections on yourself! Reflection happens even in the books you read! Reflection is a blessing; when it happens, you discover yourself, you face yourself!
Every time the long-forgotten people of the past are remembered, they are born again!
When you are in trouble, you are the nearest first person who can help you!
When we see an innocent child, this is an ordinary thing; but when we see an innocent adult, this is an extraordinary thing!
To reach your target quicker, don’t lose your time by looking back!
If your country is governed by the most stupid people, it is vital for you to continue going up personally while your nation and your country is going down because your country will inevitably collapse and it will be in need of people like you, people who managed to improve themselves while everything else was falling and deteriorating!
When you leave the light behind you, shadows and darkness become your guide!
If you have the ability to see the things behind the scenes, then you have the greatest talent one can ever have because there is almost always something else behind the things!
Moments fly and if you don’t fly with the moments, you remain on the ground apart from the moments while the moments are flying!
The miracle of a single tree in the middle of nowhere originates from its own power, its own belief in itself!
If you keep doing only the things you can handle, you will not be able to push the borders of impossibilities! Try to do the things which are beyond your powers; change your frontiers, create new ones! And then attack the new frontiers!
To live the extraordinary ecstasy of a good rest, all you have to do is to get very tired!
A country where people are afraid of even their own shadows is surely a country of dictatorship! In such vile countries there are two groups of people: The zombies, the living-dead who serve the dictator and the rest, the clever and honourable people who fight for their freedom!
Learn well how to think right and then be your own shepherd, otherwise you shall be the unlucky sheep of all sorts of cunning shepherds!
Not only persons lose their way, but nations lose their way as well!
When the winter comes, fire becomes a king!
From the same window, you keep seeing the same view!
Visit your life, because you are spending too much time in others life! Visit yourself!
