Love exists within each of us from the moment we are born and waits to be discovered from then on.

Even a speck of love should not go unappreciated, because, as Rumi said, love is the water of life.

Stop running after the waves. Let the sea come to you.

Fret not where the road will take you. Instead concentrate on the first step. That's the hardest part and that's what you are responsible for. Once you take that step let everything do what it naturally does and the rest will follow. Do not go with the flow. Be the flow.

Believers are each other's mirrors.

If you want to experience eternal illumination, put the past and the future out of your mind and remain within the present moment.

I am very worried about this concentration of power, and it's not only because of Erdogan. We have the ballot box, but we don't have the culture of democracy. The government says: You see, we have the majority, we're entitled to do anything we want. But that's not democracy, that's majoritarianism.
