The job of reflection is to add a dimension of fable to the reality!

Pürüzsüz yollar sıkıcıdır; zor yollar inciticidir, yaralayıcıdır! Sıkılmayla hiçbir şey öğrenmezsin ve hiçbir şey elde etmezsin; incinmeyle çok şey öğrenirsin ve bilgelik elde edersin! Zor yollardan asla korkma ve her zaman onları tercih et!

In the middle of the North Pole, anything hot gives the feeling like touching the hand of the God!

If the quality of the people got better as they aged, how good that would be, don’t you think so? Then we would put all the swindlers, crooks, usurers, robbers, hucksters, and gamblers we could find into a barrel and wait for some years, until their characters could leave an exquisite taste on all palates.

Like a butcher without a knife, a knight without a sword, and a farrier without a hammer, you cannot have a town without rules; if there were a town like that, a great big anarchy would reign there, just as in the realm of animals!

We should extinguish not candles, but torches, my good neighbour; we should fell not shrubs but trees: we should kill one giant instead of ten dwarfs!.. When there is an ostentatious cock crowing all over the place, what is the use of killing one insignificant chick? In a war you have to kill the king first; thus you can put an end to the battle more quickly!
