Stephen Mitchell
“Gilgamesh, where are you roaming? You will never find the eternal life that you seek. When the gods created mankind, they also created death, and they held back eternal life for themselves alone. Humans are born, they live, then they die, this is the order that the gods have decreed. But until the end comes, enjoy your life, spend it in happiness, not despair. Savour your food, make each of your days a delight, bathe and anoint yourself, wear bright clothes that are sparkling clean, let music and dancing fill your house, love the child who holds you by the hand, and give your wife pleasure in your embrace. That is the best way for a man to live.”
Stephen Mitchell, The Epic of Gilgamesh

Yunus Emre
“Hiç hata yapmayan insan, hiçbir şey yapmayan insandır ve hayatta en büyük hata, kendini hatasız sanmaktır.”
Yunus Emre

Anthon St. Maarten
“If any of the great avatars - Buddha, Jesus, Khrishna, Mohammed - were present in human form on this planet today, what would they be doing? I doubt they would be posting selfies.⁠”
Anthon St. Maarten

Julieanne O'Connor
“We all have biases whether we admit it or not. Based on our vast experiences, upbringing, influences, choices and more. My question is, can you check ‘em at the door? And can you expand your capacity for understanding such that you are able to love even more? Before you judge, look within. Know that you might not even know. Then we can find common ground and continue to expand our hearts for anyone in need of more love. Humanity depends on it.”
Julieanne O'Connor

Plato
“Although I do not suppose that either of us knows anything really beautiful and good, I am better off than he is,--for he knows nothing, and thinks that he knows; I neither know nor think that I know. (Socrates)”
Plato, Apology
