Quotes from Mehmet Murat Ildan

There are great roads, beautiful bridges, lovely parks, gorgeous gardens and wonderful buildings in a big city. But there is something missing, something very important: The spirit of nature!

Without the intense touch of nature, you can never fully freshen yourself! Go for a camping and there both your weary mind and your exhausted body will rise like a morning sun!

Every New Year must be celebrated at the heart of nature - in the middle of a forest or by the side of a lake under billions of stars - because it is nature who has made our existence possible!

When the spirit of nature touches us, our hearts turn into a butterfly!

The greatest storms on our Earth break not in nature but in our minds!

When we were monkeys, we were more human because we were at least not destroying the nature those days!

When you take pictures of nature with passion, nature poses for you more passionately!

There is no such a rule that patience leads to salvation! Patience can lead to salvation or it can lead to disaster. Every inaction or every action is open to all the possibilities!

Anyone who truly grasps the fact of limited time curses the patience blesses the hastiness!

Ignore the people who advise you patience! There is no time for patience! Those who are patient for many years about anything are mad!

A good heart is a beautiful home where you can always find peace!

To be a dwarf in peace is more honourable than to be a giant in war!

Till the sun of knowledge shines on the ignorant masses and till all the men start hating violence, the world shall find no peace!

Peace of mind! All we need is peace of mind!

When you see your fellow religious man, don't call him brother; but when you see a man of honour, a man of goodness, a man of peace, a man of ethics, now you can call him as your brother!

Anywhere you find peace of mind is your home!

Rock is a great master of life. It teaches us this simple philosophy: Stay firm!

Life is offering you infinite paths! To get stuck in one path is nothing but shallowness! Go deep, discover other lanes!

Be bold! You will then see that life will find no time to attack you, because you are attacking it!

You learned something right? Make it part of your life right away! You heard something clever? Internalize it instantly! You heard something beautiful? Add it to your life philosophy at once!

Let the 'why not' philosophy be your life principle!

Your life will be colourful if you just add colours to your life! It is your own decisions that will determine to have a miserable or a marvellous life!

Though the life is very difficult and at times quite tragic, we must nonetheless be happy for being existed, for being the miracle very itself!

The day you forget about the poors, you become the poorest of the poor!
