You look somewhere else, then you see something different and so your journey for wisdom starts! Wise man’s mind is the mind looking at everywhere!
Keep reading! Keep travelling! Keep thinking! And finally you will be there, in the Land of Wisdom where the mind has the power of an eagle’s eye!
To attain the wisdom of every season, you must live all the seasons!
Even the wisdom of the wisest depends on the accumulated wisdom of the past!
There are paths above the paths, the paths of the birds! There are paths above the paths of the birds, the paths of the clouds! And there are paths above the paths of the clouds, the paths of the planets! When you are travelling on a path, never forget that there are higher paths, there are higher wisdoms over your head!
Whatever happens when the seed meets the soil, the same thing happens when you meet the wisdom!
Wisdom is not a mysterious universe where your mind enters but it is a mysterious universe which enters your mind!
Let your walk be wisely so that you can inspire others to walk wisely!
You will never attain wisdom without walking on different streets, without talking to different people, without reading different books, in short, without meeting with the things different in every aspect!
Old people have wisdom but not energy; young people have energy but not wisdom; energy and wisdom must be in the same body to create a much better civilisation! To do this, we will either give energy to the old or we will give wisdom to the young and for now the latter seems a more plausible action!
You will not find happiness till you find your peaceful corner in life!
If you know the art of finding some things in a quite empty street, then you know the art of happiness!
You can never catch real happiness without making others happy!
Happy people is a great hope to all the unhappy people because a path of success can always be used by the people who couldn’t find such a path yet!
The heaven of a grasshopper is the wheat field; the heaven of man is the same place, the very earth itself where we get our food and build our happiness!
The unhappy people of the known paths must certainly try the unknown paths in their search of happiness!
Human mind is the only real hope for the future of humanity! Have faith in human mind which is the only instrument who can protect you in this savage universe!
You must let other people to challenge your truths; you must let them to question your faith and the reason for this is very simple: Your truths might be very wrong; your faith might be very mistaken. Don’t be a castle; you need bridges surrounding you, not walls! And remember that walls belong only to cowards!
When we feel ourselves very weak, life will look immensely powerful and ruthless! The extent of our power is the key factor in determining how powerful life is! The stronger we are the weaker the life will be!
They say life is a test and this is a ridiculous idea! There is neither examination nor examinant! You encounter problems in life either because you are stupid or your path just crosses with the problems’ path by luck! Nobody is sending you problems to test you! Stay loose and chuck out the irrational idea of ‘test’ at once!
In moments when you feel that life is unbearably heavy, surrender yourself to the circumstances for a while! When life hits you hard and makes you fall down, take a rest on the ground for a while! Momentaneous non-resistance will give you time to gather your strength!
Life is sometimes to be a monkey with a monkey, to be a dog with a dog, a bird with a bird, water with water, tree with tree! It is a great wisdom to interiorize the mind of others, in other words, to make their spirit our own spirit!
With the same habit of mind, even if you live thousands of lives, all will be the same! Get a different habit of mind to get a different life!
If you concentrate on the road too much, you will miss the view and when you do the opposite, you will miss the road! Life is an art of catching both the road and the view!
Your life will be simplified when you choose inaction when no action is required and choose action when action is required!
Catch the life with the agility of a dog trying to get a hold of the flying Frisbee!
Life is offering you infinite paths! To get stuck in one path is nothing but shallowness! Go deep, discover other lanes!
If only you could fully grasp how valuable, how limited and how unique every moment of your life is, you would never stand as still as a statue even a single moment because action is real living!
This whole life is an art of knowing when to sit and when to stand up!
The best thing about existence is that any moment in time can be a point of beginning to anything! In other words, every moment of our life holds a key for the unknown or the closed doors of new paths!
Trust not tomorrow! Whatever you are planning, today is the best day to act!
No moment is more valuable than this moment because no moment is alive outside this moment any moment other than this moment is either dead or hasn’t born yet!
The ‘stream’ we call science always flows forward; sometimes reactionary beavers block its flow, but the stream is never defeated by this; it accumulates, gathers strength; its waters get over the barrage and continue on their course. The advancement of science is the advancement of God, for science is nothing but human intelligence, and human intelligence is the most valuable treasure God has bequeathed us.
It’s very dangerous to invent something in our times; ostentatious men of the other world, who are hostile to innovations, roam about angrily. To live in peace, one has to stay away from innovations and new ideas. Innovations, like trees, attract the most destructive lightnings to themselves.
Let me summarise our delicate position in this universe: Our every word can be our last word; our every look can be our last look! Our every moment can be our last moment! Are we happy about this fragile situation? No! Are we going to deceive ourselves with some childish stories, in other words with religion? No! Then what are we going to do? We will change this desperate situation, we will strike this chaotic universe with human mind, with high intelligence, in short with science! Humanity’s ultimate objective is to reshape this dangerous universe so that no threat will ever remain for our existence!
What is salvation for humans? The answer is simple: Salvation is to perpetuate our existence via science!
Mars will not be our new home; it will be our new hotel! Because for a new place to be our own home, we need to see the things we used to see: An autumn lake, a bird singing in the misty morning or even desert camels walking in the sunset!
Some looks are heavier than the thickest books because they carry the saddest stories of life!
If you have carefully examined hundred people you met in your life journey, it means that you have read hundred different books! Every person you know is a book; world is full of walking books; some are boring, some are marvellous, some are weak, some are powerful, but they are all useful because they all carry different experiences of different paths!
The ugliest government is the one which is spreading fear to its own people! The finest government is the one which encourages its own people to criticize the government harshly.
One of the most stupid things in life is not to enter the door which is wide open just because of the fear that this door will be shut and going back will be impossible! Have some courage, because even a harvest mouse leaves his hole to discover new places!
If you harden the soil, the seed cannot grow; if you harden your heart, the love cannot grow!
Moments of love and compassion are the only immortal moments in human being’s life! We humans are mortals with immortal moments!
What if the door you love is locked and cannot be open? The answer is very simple: Find another door!
There are two kinds of diamonds in this world: The diamond itself and the eyes full of love!
If there is a very strong love behind you that you can lean against to it, nothing can ever shake you very strongly!
The stupid are always in a tendency to create enemies; on the other hand the clever are always in a tendency to create friendships! Make friends with anything or anybody possible, in short, be clever!
Here is a tragicomic reality of all the regimes: People work hard to feed their thief politicians, their thief kings and thief queens or their thief presidents! And therefore the tragicomic reality of all the times is this: There can exist no thieves without the support of people!
History shows us that people often make mistakes, they give wrong decisions, they vote for the wrong persons! And history also shows us that in the end they pay a heavy price for it!
The luckiest generation in a country is always the one which has never went through any war in their lifetimes!
Yes, there are plenty of politicians who are liars, there is no doubt about this! But some of them are not only liars but also serial killers because they deliberately send people to the wars!
In the matter of war, ask this question to yourself and to your own fellow country men: Have you ever seen any politician in your country without legs, without arms, without eyes after war? No! You can’t see such a thing because honourless politicians always stay in the safe ports while they send others to the zone of death!
There isn’t a viler creature on earth than a politician who sends the children of others to the war but not his own children!
The easiest way to forget about the people who are dying in wars right now is to close our eyes and ears! And this is also the ugliest and the vilest way!
For a chic and an honorable full victory, you must make your own fight and win your own battle entirely by yourself! Try to refuse any help to get a pure victory, a victory which belongs merely to yourself!
What do you need in the New Year? You need a dream; your dream needs an action; and your action needs right thinking! Without right thinking, you can have only unrealised dreams!
An invitation of a beautiful street is an invitation to walk within a dream!
When you start dreaming, you become just a body because your mind is now somewhere else! A dreaming person is just a mindless body!
When the reality is no different than a beautiful dream, stick tightly to that reality!
Are you dreaming? Stop dreaming; come and watch the sunset, it is better than all the dreams!
Without travels, our existence, our memories, our literature, our dreams, our everything would be very poor, very boring, very limited!
What is the size of this universe? The size of this universe is whatever the size of your dreams!
This morning do something different: When you wake up in the morning, wake your forgotten and forsaken dreams up as well, wake them up like an insisting rooster!
When a beautiful reality looks unreal, you will realize that the beauty of reality is superior to any dream whatsoever!
Watching the infinite horizons gives you infinite dreams, infinite ideas, infinite paths! Choose a great target and then you will see that great instruments will appear for you to reach that target!
It is in fact not our dream that makes us happy, but chasing that dream!
Not only the dead are dead but also those who are deprived of their freedoms are also dead!
Trams are not free; their paths are predetermined; they must travel on the pre-designed paths! You are not a tram; your path is not predetermined; you can travel on any path! Fate is nonsense; you are free, you choose your own path with your own mind!
Don’t let anybody to ruin your inner joy or to interfere in your marvellous rhythm!
If a religion wants you to give up your freedom, just give up that religion! Nothing is holier than your freedom!
In every nation’s history time comes to behave like wild horses, to refuse any kind of authority which tries to eliminate your freedom!
There are two kinds of politicians on Earth: Those who expand the freedoms and those who restrict them! The second group has no chance to triumph and they will always be remembered as spooky characters from a horror movie!
Freedom can be forgotten in the repressive countries. To remember freedom, it will be enough to watch a happy seagull flying in the sky!
To think is sacred; let every person think freely! To express what you think is sacred; let every person express his thought freely! If you do this, you prove that you are a conscientious and a moral human being! If you don’t do this, you just declare yourself being fascist!
When nobody interferes with what you wear and how you wear, you are living in a civilised country at least on the matter of clothes! Happiness and freedom are often the same thing!
There are people who are trying to make the world darker and there are people who are trying to make the world brighter! And how can you know who is who? Very simple: Those who let you express your ideas freely, those who let you to be different than others and those who give you every freedom to criticize anything are the ones who are trying to make the world brighter!
In a democracy, when the traffic light is red for freedoms, don’t ever stop, don’t ever wait! Refuse the red light, ignore it, break the rules and move forward! It is always legitimate to challenge fascism for every nation in the world as long as this challenge is nonviolent! Because violence means using the same vulgar, the same evil methods of fascism! Don’t behave like a dog when fighting against a dog!
A full loyalty to the leader merely fits to the dogs, not to the humans!
There are hundreds of intelligent and big brains in every country in the world to run that country successfully but somehow and often either an immoral stupid or a charlatan imbecile comes to power!
Most countries have only few honest politicians and this is just like having a body with only few good organs functioning!
If people notice you only when you do something very strange, then you are very lucky! You can enjoy your life without being noticed as long as you don’t do anything very strange!
Let an eagle's stance in life be your stance too: Noble and powerful!
Life is an ocean and every ocean necessitates right thinking and right action or else sinking becomes the only fate realisable!
If the tranquillity is killing you, seek for the storm to save your life!
A good strategy of life is obvious: When the right path is found, it must be walked no matter how hard it is and the precious target this path destined to must be arrived at by defeating every difficulty encountered!
When your life is stormy, take a refuge to a port: To music or to literature, in short, to art, to any kind of art!
Sometimes you must do crazy things to discover the life beyond your life, to enter the unknown zone beyond your known zone!
Life is sweet till a bitter reality comes and hits us! After that, if you are a strong person, life will continue being sweet!
Women who live their lives according to the suffocating religious rules created by men represent one of the saddest tragedies of the whole human history!
You are an ordinary person till the day you realise that you have the power to change the world!
Don’t ever rule out the option of U-turn in your life, because one day you will need it! The moment you realize that you are going to the wrong direction, turn to the right direction instantly, with a beautiful U-turn!
Clever nations are the ones who keep changing their governments! Because power must change hands otherwise it will get spoiled and rot!
Even a book with completely empty pages will change you because you will start thinking about the reason behind this emptiness and once you enter the thinking territory it means that you entered a territory of change!
May be the road you travel doesn’t give you the beautiful fate you have always dreamed off! Stop and change the road, no matter how difficult it may be!
If you can add a great beauty to something which is already beautiful, then you must be very beautiful like a white swan adding beauty to a misty lake!
Nature has two powers: Her own physical power and the spiritual power of her beauty!
The sound we hear when it snows is the soft song of the white beauty!
If there is ever a magical beauty that can be watched hours with great admiration, and that is the beauty of a strong light falling from the everlasting skies into the heart of the dimness!
If a leader wants his people to do something, he himself must firstly do it!
You want to feel that you belong to something higher, to something even beyond this universe, then go to the opera!
Because art is a scream, even when it hides itself somewhere, you will find it!
Let us salute all the shadows of this world for the brilliant and enigmatical art they create day and night!
Art is the greatest opportunity to admire the human mind!
The purpose of art is to create heavens to balance the world because there are so many hells in the world, there are wars, tortures and oppressions, there is unhappiness etc.
The dictators, commanders or emperors who want to conquer the world soon realize that the world has already been conquered by the artists and their arts!
Art creates high energy, high vibrations, high music, high feelings, high of everything! Without art, we leave highness and we meet lowness!
Keep reading! Keep travelling! Keep thinking! And finally you will be there, in the Land of Wisdom where the mind has the power of an eagle’s eye!
When an ignorant reads ignorant things or when he comes together with other ignorant, his ignorance will deepen and his fate will worsen!
By reading books, you lose your old self and you find your new self! To read is to travel from self to another self!
When you have much higher ethical values than the ethical values of your own people, you stop belonging to your own people, to your own country because your people and your country are now located in the low levels of humanity!
Reaching the top of a high mountain is just a personal victory. But for a victory to be important for the society, it has to be useful for the humanity!
The Self-confidence of the ignorant is one of the biggest disasters of the humanity!
When you do your works sincerely, you put wings to your works and then they will fly all over the world on their own!
To save our dying earth, any government which is not environmentalist must go because on earth there are thousands of governments but there in only one earth! Continuing with the eco-traitor stupid governments means an environmental suicide! Enemies of nature are real barbarians and there is no place for these savages in our civilisation!
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!
Here is a wonderful habit: From time to time stop; move not; speak not; just watch the nature, because this is the best way to realise explicitly the miracles surrounding us!
Existence is a priceless gift and the beauties of nature are the priceless gifts of the existence!
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!
Let us hope that life grant an opportunity to those miserable who live in the golden palaces to taste the infinite peace of a wooden cottage in the countryside and so their misery ends!
A beautiful mind is like a beautiful path! The more you travel with it, the more you find peace and happiness!
Man looks very coward and extremely primitive with an ostentatious big sword and he looks very brave and tremendously sophisticated with a humble olive branch!
When can you understand that the music you play is very good? It is when people look at you but see no one, no one but the music!
Silence is the best music when you are in need of silence and music is the best silence when you are in need of music!
To understand fully the importance of music, you must try to imagine a world without music! Such a world would be a world of hopelessness and boredom!
An illusionist can make himself disappear; a musician can do the same thing: When he plays a piano, after a while we start seeing only the music, not the man!
In your most desperate moments where you crawl on the ground like worms, sometimes you suddenly hear the voice of a savior, the voice of the Music which immediately carries you away to the stars!
The more money you spend on guns, the less money you spend on people! More weapons, less happiness; more guns, more misery!

Sometimes solitude is a real heaven for the tired minds and a marvellous sanctuary for the wounded souls!
Not your eyes but the capacity of your mind determines how well you see the things happening around you!
No mind seems more peaceful than the mind of a sleeping innocent child because life has not yet planted the seeds of sorrow in that mind!
Spend your time with the people who talk about the stars because to whichever place you put your mind in, you will move to that place! Stars pull you to the stars; mud pulls you to the mud!
When your situation seems pathless and hopeless, this happens just because your mind is not talented enough to find a hope and to create a path!
If you cannot solve your problem, change your position and look at your problem from a different angle with a different mind! Every problem has a hole where you can enter inside and destroy it!
Without eliminating the fog in your mind, you won’t be able to see clearly! And how can you eliminate this fog? How can you liberate your mind? Just open your mind to the winds of all ideas!
The strength of your mind determines the depth of your desperation! The weaker the mind, the deeper the desperation!
Without being an independent individual, without having an independent mind, you become nothing more than a trivial slave or an obscure shadow!
Universe is a giant with his body and we humans are a giant with our minds!
The only power which can illuminate you is your own mind! No other mind can lighten you if your mind insists to remain in the darkness! The fate of your fate is within you!
Humans have better wings than birds: Human mind is a perfect wing and with this wing we can fly to some farthermost places no bird can ever dream! Yes, mind is a wing; and when it comes to flying man is the most sophisticated bird on earth!
If you are a boat and your lake is frozen, what can you do? You will wait for the spring! We are lucky that we are humans, we don’t have to wait for the spring; we can break the ice if necessary, we can use fire to open our way! Nothing can stop the mind if the mind decides to move to his target!
Stephen Hawking says we will not survive another 1,000 years without escaping beyond our planet. This existence problem can be solved by increasing the number of people with free-minds! Because just like the free birds only the free minds can reach the new horizons!
When you smile, it means that your mind smiles; when you cry, it means that your mind cries!
The kindest mind is the most beautiful mind!
Every country on Earth needs a progressive Revolution. But these revolutions must come through the Revolutions in the mind, not through Revolutions using Violence!

World is full of lost lives, full of unfortunate souls ruined in the name of unreasonable religious rules!
There is nothing sacred about any beliefs! They are all the apparent inventions of human mind! Beliefs of the billions have nothing to do with the truth! If the world can stop deceiving itself, there will emerge a new world, a world that represents the truth!
In life, courage is sometimes to enter through the door and sometimes it is to walk out the door!

Bad governments always lie because telling the truth requires honour and courage!
Great man is the one who is aware of his smallness in this universe! Greatness starts first of all with accepting the reality.
The most important thing in life for you is your positive stance in life!
Darkness is always afraid of the positive thoughts, because they are also a species of light!
If you are looking at anything from one point, from one angle, you can never attain wisdom because wisdom is to see all the things from every point, from every angle!
Follow the river to reach the sea; follow the sea to reach the ocean. And finally follow the ocean to reach the wisdom! As long as you target beyond of the beyond, you will reach the very beyond!

A warm house is the best New Year present for every child!
Children always give this simple message: Be natural, be sincere, be yourself!
A society where everyone is following his own unique path has a much better chance to find the truth than the society where everyone is following some known cliché paths!
You must wear clothes which suits your own soul, not your own society! What you wish to do is much more important than what your society wants you to do!
The journey of every ignorant and obedient society always ends up in the same place: In the desert!
A society with a great number of prisons is a totally failed society because it has terribly failed to create a marvellous society where crime is not something widespread but an exception!
Today’s living people are much more important than tomorrow’s yet unborn people! We need to help the people of today before helping the people of tomorrow! We cannot make our plans so as to save the people of distant future by ignoring today’s people!
Your ideas create your fate; you change your ideas, you change your fate!
Predetermined fate is the slogan of the incapable people; with better ideas, you can always have a better fate!
All the doors you ignored or refused to enter represents your uncreated fates!
Those who want to have a beautiful future must first dream of a beautiful future! Dream is the first step; it is the first action; it is the first move before any move, it is the first of everything!

Meditation is to leave the noise and to meet with the silence.
Water is sagacious because it carries inside of itself the bottomless profundity of oceans, the cosmic looks of the clouds, subtle wits of the rivers, the inquisitive character of the rains and the silent meditation of the little lakes!

The most precious light is the one that visits you in your darkest hour!
Photos which captures human sadness are the noblest and the most meaningful of all the photos!
A sad soul needs an infinite horizon which can throw all his sorrow into the silence of the eternal emptiness!

The face of poverty is a mixture of sincerity and sadness!
Infinite horizons belong to those who have infinite imagination!

Kindness is your best gift you can ever give to anyone in any time!
Elegance and kindness is an elegant and kind reply to the rudeness of this world!

Something right in the morning can turn into something wrong in the afternoon! Even if you are on the right path, you must still question the rightness of your path! Conditions perpetually change! Update your path and your travel constantly!
Stupid crowds are the greatest wealth of the crook politicians!
If a politician obtained a great wealth after he has been elected, his being an immoral corrupt man is not a possibility but it is a self-evident reality!
You will always remain lonely till the day you meet a person who can understand your mind deeply!
No better school invented yet than the school of loneliness in the matters of understanding our deep-self!
You must always see your loneliness as an opportunity to meet something good unexpected, something new unknown before, something interesting not happened yet!
It is not possible for a house to own a spirit without owning windows with flowers!
Your first purpose is to find a purpose for yourself.

Unless you refuse the bad things happening to you, you will continue to suffer with your own consent!

When you lose your path, you get an opportunity to discover a world you have never known! And better worlds are often found this way! Darkness and uncertainty hide presents in itself!
Every morning is a revolution against the darkness!
Those who have darkness in their minds turn their bodies into darkness as well! Life is colourful; be like a rainbow, use every colour! Don’t get stuck in one colour, be colourful! Black, red, yellow, green, let all the colours be your colours! Those who have colourful minds will have colourful bodies as well!
Mostly the greedy rich is responsible for the poor’s poverty!
Natural disasters happen from time to time but poverty happens all the time and therefore poverty is the greatest tragedy, it is the greatest disaster of mankind!
Great writers speak with their works not with their mouths!
If you want to be a good writer, internalize the good writers; absorb them; integrate with their souls; embrace their minds; mingle with their life stories; in short, merge with them, lose yourself in them!
By walking on the right path, you create a golden fate for yourself and you also become a silver lining for the others!

Crowds don’t think; they act; they don’t produce ideas, they produce actions!
No matter how right or how beautiful your path is, never try to impose your path on others! Remember that flowers by no means pull bees by force to their world! Your path is your poem; if people like your poem, they will fondly join you in your path!
You will get closer to the truths only when you start thinking this way: My religion is not the best religion, my country is not the best country, my culture is not the best culture, and my life is not the best life! The more you move away from arrogance, pride and prejudice, the more you will get closer to the truth!
One thinking man in a crowd worth a thousand men!
Like a breakfast time or lunch time, you must have a thinking time! Without eating and thinking we cannot stick to the existence; without them we cannot stay in the port of this universe!
Moments of thinking are your military moments because they are the moments where you take the opportunity to attack and eliminate your problems!
In old age, past haunts the present; memories replace the real life!
Kids don’t have much accumulated and deep memories and that’s why they happily live in the present time!
If you close your door to the world of books, the gates of the world of ignorance automatically opens and quickly pulls you inside!
The politicians of your country will always try to encircle you with the high walls of lies! You must know that the truth is beyond the walls and without meeting the truth you cannot meet the freedom!
Silence is a magical sleep where you find the solutions in your dreams!
The most dangerous silence is the one where the impending danger is more silent than the silence there!
You want to survive in this universe? Then you are in a no-choice-positon! You have no choice but to be strong, you have no choice but to be hopeful, you have no choice but to be clever and challenger!
Look at the universe! What do you see? An order? Tranquillity? A divine peace? You fool! You ignorant! Over there, galaxies are colliding, suns are exploding, black holes swallowing stars!
