Truth Quote by Mehmet Murat ildan — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“To shape the world for the better, first shape yourself for the better! And to shape yourself for the better, first question the forces that shaped you before – your family, education, society, culture!”

“Have you ever seen a bird standing still for too long? A short rest and then action again, that's how a bird lives and that's how you should live too!”

“On the road to wisdom, behave like a raven and observe everything carefully!”

“If you are a pure-hearted person and something you persistently want is not happening, instead of getting discouraged, lift your spirits by seeing it this way: Something else, probably something better and right for you, is on its way.”

“The whispering of the truth is stronger than the thunderstorm of the untruth!”

“You keep asking, ‘Is there a God?’ What are you going to do? Whether there is or isn't, mind your own business! If there is a God, will you play the good guy to please him? If there isn't a God, will you play the bad guy, thinking you won't be punished? Whether God exists or not, you are what you are! Mind your own business! You're wasting your time wondering whether God exists or not!”

“I tell the story to you now, but in each telling the story itself changes a little, changes direction, and that in turn changes you and me. So be very careful not only in how you repeat it but in how you remember it, goslings. More often than you realize it, the world is shaped by two things -- stories told and the memories they leave behind.”

“There are few things in life worse than a long-winded lawyer.”

“When you love someone, they deserve to know the truth”

“In any war story, but especially a true one, it's difficult to separate what happened from what seemed to happen. What seems to happen becomes its own happening and has to be told that way. The angles of vision are skewed. When a booby trap explodes, you close your eyes and duck and float outside yourself. .. The pictures get jumbled, you tend to miss a lot. And then afterward, when you go to tell about it, there is always that surreal seemingness, which makes the story seem untrue, but which in fact represents the hard and exact truth as it seemed.”

“Take lightly what you hear about individuals. We need not distort trust for our paltry little political agendas. We tend to trust soulless, carried information more than we trust soulful human beings; but really most people aren't so bad once you sit down and have an honest, one-on-one conversation with them, once, with an open heart, you listen to their explanations as to why they act the way they act, or say what they say, or do what they do.”
