41 " 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! "
― Mehmet Murat ildan
42 " 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! "
43 " Your life will be simplified when you choose inaction when no action is required and choose action when action is required! "
44 " Catch the life with the agility of a dog trying to get a hold of the flying Frisbee! "
45 " Life is offering you infinite paths! To get stuck in one path is nothing but shallowness! Go deep, discover other lanes! "
46 " 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! "
47 " This whole life is an art of knowing when to sit and when to stand up! "
48 " 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! "
49 " Trust not tomorrow! Whatever you are planning, today is the best day to act! "
50 " The more you exaggerate, the more you will look funny! "
51 " Whether we like it or not, one day science will take God from us! This will be especially a great destruction for the weak minds! "
52 " There are two kinds of science: The black science and the white science. The science of weapon production is the black one. Working in this category of science is a great betrayal to humanity! "
53 " Mysticism is colourful and alluring, but if you are after the truth, science is the best path! "
54 " It is better to go near the truth and be imprisoned than to stay with the wrong and roam about freely, master Galilei. In fact, getting attached to falsity is terrible slavery, and real freedom is only next to the right. "
― Mehmet Murat ildan , Galileo Galilei
55 " 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. "
56 " History of science is a relay race, my painter friend. Copernicus took over his flag from Aristarchus, from Cicero, from Plutarch; and Galileo took that flag over from Copernicus. "
57 " What have you done for science today? Stop doing things for God! He doesn't need anything. Do something for science, for God's sake! "
58 " For a child, parents’ warning is like a rose blooming in the brain; it opens with difficulty and fades quickly. "
59 " 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. "
60 " 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! "
