A man who smiles when he falls gives the Devil a good slap!

A man with a great curiosity will never get bored even if he lives millions years!

A man with a warm heart is no different than a warm house in the middle of a bitter winter!

A marching army first crushes the flowers before the enemy; but even before this, it crushes its own conscience! Conscience and killing cannot be together.

A mortal life with love is endlessly superior to an immortal life without love.

A moss which leaves its ocean becomes pale and dries up and a man which leaves his mother country is a moss which leaves it ocean!

A need for many candles may arise in every nation's history to light up the darkness in the country. Most of the time, the youth is the very candles themselves!

A night without stars is a night wasted.
