“Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching forget that the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.”

Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

The end of life is not to be happy, nor to achieve pleasure and avoid pain, but to do the will of God, come what may.

Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.

We must substitute courage for caution.

Hate destroys the hater.

Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.

Be the peace you wish to see in the world.

Courage is an inner resolution to go forward despite obstacles

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy to a friend.

Without love, there is no reason to know anyone, for love will in the end connect us to our neighbors, our children and our hearts.

We are not makers of history. We are made by history.

Cowardice is submissive surrender to circumstances.

The day we see the truth and cease to speak is the day we begin to die.

Mankind apparently find it easier to drive away adversity than to retain prosperity.

I have me brave women who are exploring the outer edge of human possibility, with no history to guide them, and with a courage to make themselves vulnerable that I find moving beyond words.

I find standing and posing for photos very awkward.

Most people, in fact, will not take the trouble in finding out the truth, but are much more inclined to accept the first story they hear.

You, the sons and daughters, the future of Turkiye, even under such circumstances and conditions, your duty is to save the Turkish independence and the Republic, you will find the power you need in the noble blood in your veins.

Ah, to that far distant strand Bridge there was not to convey, Not a bark was near at hand, Yet true love soon found the way.

The world must be romanticized. In this way the ordinary meaning may be found again.

Let the people who never find true love keep saying that there’s no such thing. Their faith will make it easier for them to live and die.
