You cannot treat with all the world at once.

Courage isn't having the strength to go on - it is going on when you don't have strength.

I made all my generals out of mud.

Surely in a matter of this kind we should endeavor to do something, that we may say that we have not lived in vain, that we may leave some impress of ourselves on the sands of time.

There are two merits that glorify a person: being courageous for a man and being virtuous for a woman. Besides these two, there is another merit that glorifies both man and woman: so much loving the homeland to an extent with being ready to sacrifice his/her life, if needed. Turks are such courageous and virtuous people. That is why you can kill a Turk but you can never defeat them.

There are so many laws that no one is safe from hanging.

Soldiers generally win battles; generals get credit for them.
