Quotes from Mehmet Murat Ildan

Anything easy teaches you nothing! To learn something, have some difficulties!

Are you a stupid sheep in the flock or a free eagle in the sky? Look at the mirror, what are you? Are you some dullish cattle in the herd or a wise owl in the forest? Look at the mirror, what are you?

Are you cold when you are happy? Are you cold when you are unhappy? Then you are a wise man! Wisdom makes man cool and calm. Wise man is cool and calm!

Buddha will lead you to the light; Gandhi will lead you to the light! Men of wider horizons will broaden our own horizons!

Are you happy? It doesn't matter! Are you unhappy? It doesn't matter! What matters is whether you exist or not! Are you laughing? It doesn't matter! Are you crying? It doesn't matter! What matters is whether you exist or not!

Are you looking for a wealth in life? Fool! Life is the wealth itself!
