Quotes by Mehmet Murat ildan

Unless you have a very good reason, never wake up anybody or anything! Let the sleeper sleep in peace.

There is no point of being enlightened unless you have started enlightening others!

High walls and deep precipices on your path or hard rocks and big holes are not real obstacles! There is only one real obstacle on your path: Absence of self-confidence!

Every time you survive a horrible storm you start thinking that you are immortal and this is the most negative and the most dangerous part of self-confidence!

Democracy can exist only in the countries where people are brave! Coward nations always live under the authoritarian regimes!

The biggest mistake of a democratic country is to underestimate the power of a democratically elected pro-fascist leader because it is always easier to destroy a castle from within!

If a nation is leaving democracy and choosing fascism, it means that it is taking itself from a peaceful garden to a bloody slaughter house!

As long as there exist stupid people supporting stupid governments in their countries, people living in those countries will continue fluttering badly in the cesspool created by this utter foolishness!

In a democratic country everything is very simple: If you choose a good government, good things will happen; if you choose a bad government, bad things will happen!

In a democracy, people always vote for their alike! Pig for the pig, raven for the raven! Dull for the dull, wise for the wise!

Happiness has only one colour: The Bright! The bright of red, the bright of green, the bright of any colour! Happiness is bright! It shines, it sparkles, it glints!

You will meet happiness on your way if you just stop looking for happiness desperately! Live your life without looking for anything!

There are many sources of happiness. Doing goodness is one of them and one of the best!

We see what we are only through reflection and thus the more our reflections occur, the less our mistakes will be!

Every end of every day is the most important time of that day because you confront with your past and you obtain a chance for tomorrow not to repeat your past mistakes!

The worst mistakes of your past can be the best lights of your future!

People often make very bad mistakes because people often don’t ask very simple crucial questions before their actions!

Never compete with your master, because that is disrespect to him! You are your only rival, you compete with yourself, go beyond yourself!

Something always attracts us towards the ruins, because ruins remind us our fundamental problem: The problem of impermanence! Amongst the ruins we see the very end of our road! Whatever shows you the simple truth, it is your Master Teacher; whoever repeatedly recalls you of the plain truth, he is your good master!

The best master is the one who raises many more masters and much more important than this, who creates masters even much better than himself!
