“BUGÜN VE BUGÜN

Öyle çabuk geçiyor ki günler.
Hele sen de bir bak hayatına.
Daha dün doğmuşuz sanki.
Yeni okula başlamışız,
Yeni sevmişiz.
Öyle çabuk geçiyor ki günler.
Hele sen de bir bak hayatına.
Yarın bitecek sanki her şey.
Yarın ölecek gibiyiz.
Daha doymamışız yaşamasına.
Günlerimiz dün bir, bugün iki.
Sakın bir şey bırakma yarına.
Yarın yok ki.”
― Özdemir Asaf, Lavinia: Aşk Şiirleri

“How shall I sum up my life? I think I've been particularly lucky. Does that have something to do with faith also? I know my mother always used to say, 'Good things aren't supposed to just fall in your lap. God is very generous, but he expects you to do your part first.' So you have to make that effort. But at the end of a bad time or a huge effort, I've always had - how shall I say it? - the prize at the end. My whole life shows that.”
― Audrey Hepburn

“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone.
...
We leave you a tradition with a future.
The tender loving care of human beings will never become obsolete.
People even more than things have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed and redeemed and redeemed.
Never throw out anybody.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands: one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

Your “good old days” are still ahead of you, may you have many of them.”
― Sam Levenson, In One Era & Out the Other

Bir şey beklemezse eğer insan, on yıl çabuk geçer.»”
― Selçuk Baran, Bir Solgun Adam
