“No matter how rich and prosperous, a nation without independence, cannot be subject to any behaviour before the humanity, at a higher level than serving.”

Nations which don’t find their national identities will be preyed upon by other nations.

Men, I am not ordering you to attack. I am ordering you to die. In the time that it takes us to die, other forces and commanders can come and take our place.

Our true mentor in life is science.

Peace at home is peace in the country. Peace in the country is peace in the world.

This nation has never lived without independence. We cannot and shall not live without it. Either independence or death.

Unless a nation’s life faces peril, war is murder.

The future is in the skies.

A youth with wings are the assurance of our nation’s future. We must start to work right away and make progress so that; if one day Westerners leave their footprints on the moon, we shall place a Turkish one among those.

A nation which makes the final sacrifice for life and freedom does not get beaten.

Concepts of well-being for countries, for peoples and for individuals are changing. In such a world, to argue for rules that never change would be to deny the reality found in scientific knowledge and reasoned judgment.

In order to stave off covetouness, greed, and spite, citizens world over must be educated.

Science is the only true guide in life.

Peace at home, peace in the world.

Sovereignty is not given, it is taken.

Authority, without any condition and reservation, belongs to the nation.

The nation has placed its faith in the precept that all laws should be inspired by actual needs here on earth as a basic fact of national life.

There is only one caste the caste of humanity. There is only one religion the religion of love. There is only one language the language of the heart.

When attention is given to the spiritual aspect of one’s life, it brings a sense of belongingness, and responsibility, compassion and caring for the whole of humanity.

Please forgive them, even if they ask for forgiveness or not, it is humanity.

I’m stuck between loving life and losing my faith in humanity.

It is my belief, that we should not be too sure of having found Christ in ourselves until we have found him also in that part of humanity that is most remote from our own.

My humanity, in common with all of God’s children, gives the greatest flight to my full range of my possibilities.

The criteria for success: you are free, you live in the present moment, you are useful to the people around you, and you feel love for all humanity.

Laughter is the most beautiful and beneficial therapy God ever granted humanity.
