Quotes from Mehmet Murat Ildan

Be like a train; go in the rain, go in the sun, go in the storm, go in the dark tunnels! Be like a train; concentrate on your road and go with no hesitation!

Be silent when you are criticised so that you can hear the critiques well!

Be the inner journeys, be the outer travels, all trips elevate man, all voyages lift him up!

Be the man of no one! Instead, be the man of truth, only the truth!

Beating drums while doing a kindness to somone is a very ugly show of ego!

Beautiful places are almost alive! When you visit them, you can feel their breaths!

Beautiful places are not for sleeping; they are for staying awake to watch the beauties!

Beautiful roads do not always lead to beautiful places! Heaven may be hidden at the end of an ugly road! Do not be deceived by the beginning; try to see the end!

Bed is a good friend; book is a good friend; night is a good friend. Try to bring them all together.

Before claiming that your own country have the best mountain or have the most wonderful forest or have the prettiest temple, first travel around the world!

Behind every success, there lies a magical word: Dare!

Behind your every bad fate, almost always there lie your own stupid mistakes! Behind your every good fate, almost always there lie your own clever deeds! Skies have nothing whatsoever to do with your fate!

Being peaceful is being angel!

Believing in religion is an insult to God, because God means high intelligence and what intelligence there is in religion? Let us save the God from the religion, from fables for children! God has never spoken yet; He has been remaining in silent for millions of years somewhere outside our universe!

Between a dead-hero and a living-no one, always prefer the latter, always prefer the life! Being no one is infinitely better than being dead!

Between a stupid fascist and an intelligent fascist, prefer the intelligent one, because there is always a chance to persuade the clever one about the mistakes of his actions! There is no such a chance for stupid and ignorant fascist!

Between Napoleon and his army, always choose Napoleon; because He can create another army, but his army cannot create a Napoleon!

Between the truth and the faith, we must always choose the first one.

Between wisdom and a good shield, always prefer the wisdom, because no shield can protect us better than wisdom!

Bewilderment is often the child of the ignorance! If you are bewildered to some things, it means that you are not yet a wise man!

Beyond the limits there lies other limits.
