1) Sixty seconds of sorrow can steal a minute of happiness from life.
2) Many people sell their hearts to forget the grief of lost money.
3) There is far more joy in making yourself the fool to find happiness than in finding happiness by making others the fool.
4) Rather than taking revenge by ending another’s life, it is better to take revenge by making your own life more beautiful than theirs.
5) No amount of complaining or anger will ever change many things. We often worry about matters that don’t depend entirely on us—the current weather, traffic jams, the country’s recent condition, and such. Constant grievance and discontent gradually drain our life force.
6) Money can free you from poverty, but it cannot give you freedom.
7) Money cannot give people happiness, but in times of sorrow, it can afford them the opportunity to enjoy luxury. To say that money is the root of all evil, you still need enough money in your pocket.
8) Whether money brings happiness or not, it allows unlimited shopping without asking prices. The freedom to walk into a store and buy whatever your heart desires without inquiring about cost—such liberty brings considerable joy.
9) Under money’s influence, how many loves have I seen become immortal!
10) Political reform is the art of destroying flowers under the pretense of clearing weeds.
11) When the people closest to you begin treating you in ways that make you feel like strangers, you gradually withdraw into yourself. This only worsens the problem. Your doubt increases, your fear grows. Solitude breeds insecurity too. That’s when you must be careful. At such times, someone will enter your life who will either destroy it completely and leave, or rarely, show you the way to rebuild it anew.
12) In your darkest hour, when maintaining a relationship with you offers no worldly gain, the one or two friends you find by your side—never forget them, even if it costs you your life.
13) When you lose all hope and faith in life, the person you find beside you then—that is your true friend.
14) If you cannot be with the one you love, love the one who is with them. You’ll see—it feels good.
15) We quickly judge others. If we could know the story behind why they behave as they do or speak as they do, perhaps we ourselves could become enriched by experience.
16) Almost all the money we earn beyond what we can personally enjoy gets spent on ungrateful, forgetful, even treacherous people.
17) We remain frozen in memory instead of living each day as it comes. Time moves forward, but life stands still.
18) We look at the dead and still can’t grasp that we were born to die.
19) To gaze into the eyes of the one we love, knowing they won’t notice—this is what suffering means.
20) I was so lost in my beloved’s beauty that I never noticed my own.
21) I went to the flower shop. I took my time choosing the most beautiful roses for a bouquet, then went to my lover only to find her sitting there with all the thorns from the rose garden in her hands, waiting for me for hours.
22) When I was small, I wanted to be a patriot. Now that I’ve grown up, I no longer believe in fairy tales.
23) Every time I’ve been hurt, I’ve sworn never to inflict such pain on anyone else.
24) The joy of giving blessings is greater than receiving them.
25) Strange—I traveled the whole world and couldn’t find a single beautiful person! Later I realized the beautiful person wasn’t even in the mirror.
26) Come, let’s experiment with life. Let’s meet someone, spend time with them, someone who isn’t right for us. Let’s honor them, kindle joy in their hearts. Without any plan, let’s just go traveling. Let’s live boldly with foolish laughter and songs at the top of our lungs. Before it’s too late, let’s tell someone how important they are to us. If we could stop regretting what we’ll never have again, what’s been lost, what belongs to someone else now—life could be so much more beautiful.
27) Come, let’s make time for the things we love. Let’s cultivate the habit of thinking without anxiety in our hearts. Let’s find time for fun and celebration. Let’s set aside separate time for reading, listening to music, watching movies, wandering. Let’s discover the path to happiness. Let’s give ourselves time to dream about what we truly want. Let’s reserve some time from our busy lives for love and affection. Let’s open our eyes to what surrounds us, let’s see life. And whatever else happens, we must make time to laugh every day—because when I cry, it hardly matters to anyone. Cry for a month and no one will check on you. Laugh for one day and people will start saying you’ve gone mad. You see, brother, this is what the world is like! Here, tears and sorrow are strictly private residents of the heart.
28) Come, let’s learn to swim… we drown so often in our dreams!
29) These days, for many people, not being online means you’ve vanished from the world.
30) With envy and complaint, happiness is impossible.
31) The upper classes
breed the devil’s offspring, the middle classes
raise the devil’s offspring, the lower classes
worship the devil’s offspring.
32) I have wanted to
die so many times in this life that now I feel ashamed even to live.
33) In this world,
during bad times, you need at least one friend to hold you close and cry with.
34) The great
tragedy of this world: those you can depend on, you cannot be at ease with. Those you can be at ease with, you cannot depend on. Those who can live by the principle—depend and be at ease—who could be happier than them?
35) It’s better to be
a good friend than to be a bad lover or wife.
36) When an angel
possesses a woman, when the devil possesses her—there’s no way to tell beforehand.
37) A person can
remain alone their entire life, caring for no one, even digging their own grave.
Still, to be buried, they must maintain good relations with at least one other person.
Even after death, humans become dependent on others.
38) A single kiss can
shatter a woman’s entire life. On the other hand, a man can completely forget several nights of intimacy. Nature has created humans just this way.
39) Even when packs of
wolves fight in the forest, from a distance the forest still looks peaceful. If we could truly investigate many of Facebook’s happy couples, we might have very different opinions about them.
40) After talking to her
all day I couldn’t make her understand that I love her, yet with just one smile she made it clear that my entire day had been wasted!
41) They say silence is
as precious as gold. I really want to ask them: for someone who has no one to talk to, or if they do, that person doesn’t value their words, someone who must live in silence day after day—what price does that silence carry?
42) They say, live in
fear of death. I’m already struggling to live in fear of life itself.
43) Sometimes a smile
or a kind word is worth more than great wealth, because their sincerity and simplicity can awaken someone’s heart—someone who may have been waiting for just such a thing for a very long time.
44) Sometimes in love
it’s better to have tears than laughter and jokes.
45) Nothing hurts more
than waiting for someone you know you’ll never have.
46) It’s easier to live
by saying you should never trust anyone than to actually follow that principle.
47) If you want to be
friends with crows, you’ll have to master their technique of defecating anywhere and everywhere.
48) Some torn parts of fabric cannot be mended with stitching—it’s better to replace the entire cloth.
49) If you must draw something, draw it not on sand but on stone. If you must love, love not a man, not a woman, but a human being.
50) Some people give so much to everyone yet fail to make anyone happy; others give nothing to anyone yet manage to make everyone happy.
51) Some sell their kidneys for money, others sell their money for kidneys. The history of the world is more or less like this.
52) To understand what someone is like as a person, you must either marry them or lend them money.
53) The afterglow of fleeting happiness lasts the longest.
54) Dying friendship makes us weep, but the performance of growing friendship makes us weep even more.
55) Let light enter your home, and if possible, sunlight too. In dark rooms, nothing much has ever been accomplished except the production of children.
56) Inside the house, the dog is king; outside the house, the man is king.
57) Suppressed tears are love’s silent declaration.
58) So many people all around, yet I have been feeling lonely for who knows how long.
59) Boys keep their eyes and ears open before marriage; girls keep their eyes and ears open after marriage. And both groups prove to be failures.
60) Boys are either engaged or available—one or the other.
61) Life is such a feast where no item can be enjoyed without shedding tears.
62) Life is not a movie—you can’t rewind or fast-forward at will, can’t pause it to do other things, can’t walk out before it ends.
63) Life!—it’s being cut, yet no blood flows.
64) Many times come in life when, long after experiencing unbearable pain, we think back to that pain and wonder in amazement: How did I endure so much! Our capacity to endure is far greater than our imagination.
65) To earn money, you must place someone else’s head on your shoulders and your head on someone else’s shoulders.
66) A person’s happiness can be understood not from the smile on their lips, but from the smile in their eyes. I’ve seen many unhappy people whose lips smile but whose eyes do not.
67) Still, get married—being happy isn’t everything in life. For situations like leaving wet towels on the bed, or shoes in one room, socks in another, and yourself in yet another room… you need at least one person around to scold you.
68) Three ‘R’s completely destroy life—reputation, recognition, restriction. Those who don’t have these three things in their lives are the happiest people in the world. The burden of these three often makes me want to flee to a distant land where no one knows me.
69) You and I—this is the smallest country in the world.
70) Sacrifice is the source of happiness—this saying is told with one word omitted. That word is: excrement.
71) God is always with the poor—often in an inactive state.
72) In his own home, a married man has no such thing as the “last word.” His wife’s last word is his last word.
73) Apart from knowing what his wife wants, a man’s knowledge has no other real limitations.
74) I’ve seen many men who get furious if their wives even talk to someone else—forget about love—yet these same men carry on passionate affairs with other men’s wives.
75) Empty pockets but a full head—such a person is worthy of reverence! Full pockets but an empty head—such a person is the lowest of the low! Empty pockets and an empty head too—such a person is a slave of slaves!
76) It’s not the suffering of virtue, but the joy of sin that keeps people alive.
77) Men grow taller than women because weeds always hide the beauty of flowers. (For those who are offended, read this: …because flowers always hide the ugliness of thorns.)
78) There are poor people in this world who have nothing except money.
79) The real war of the world is fought against loneliness!
80) No one in the world can be happy against their will. Therefore, we see many people who cannot bring themselves to be happy about anything—their entire lives pass by complaining.
81) Every person in the world is born with the unwritten right to make mistakes.
82) All the women in the world are good; bad wives come from outside the world.
83) A true friend knows how to ask for and give forgiveness, knows how to forget a friend’s faults and mistakes. Most importantly, for such a friend, the bond of friendship is greater than all of the friend’s mistakes.
84) Being accustomed to effort greatly increases a person’s tolerance. That’s why married men have much greater tolerance. They spend their entire lives trying to keep their wives happy, and when they fail, they prepare for the next attempt.
85) Every person is a murderer, because every person must live by murdering their dreams.
86) The first impression didn’t survive life, the second impression couldn’t sustain life. Yet life keeps me alive nonetheless. Is the coming and going of breath all that life is?
87) Flattery from loved ones brings more joy than flattery born of necessity.
88) If you must fall in love, it’s more fun to do it with someone mature.
89) A girlfriend returning to her father’s house is as painful to accept as a wife going to visit her father’s house is joyful to contemplate.
90) Many women have been saved from suicide by the fear that hanging, drowning, or poisoning would disfigure their faces, making them look hideous after death.
91) A friend is someone you can depend on, who keeps their word, with whom all your secrets are safe.
92) Friendship comes quietly. It doesn’t beat drums and announce loudly, “Look, here I am!” It arrives, follows you, keeps you company without creating any extra annoyance, and selflessly extends a helping hand when you find yourself in trouble.
93) Friendship is like bread that satisfies hunger even when stale. Like silence that says everything without speaking. Like a dream people cannot abandon even when death arrives. Like a touch that can be felt without coming near. Like eyes that see and judge, but don’t pronounce verdicts—instead, they heal. Like the wind—we breathe and live because it flows. Like hands that draw close but don’t bind with obligations. Like dew that soothes our anxieties and gives us shelter. Like an angel who stands by us in danger even at the cost of their own safety. Like a mother who loves her child even if it means going against the entire world… Like a heart that loves but doesn’t force love upon others.
94) Spring returns every year. The age to enjoy spring passes every year.
95) Better to dance with a pig than drink whiskey with your boss.
96) When life becomes difficult, choose the best path to survive—the path of love. Then you’ll understand how much better off you were before!
97) To live, people need many things, and not getting them makes the heart heavy. But the funny thing is, when pushed to the wall, people can live quite happily with just about anything!
98) The easiest way to live is to find some beloved things that make life worth living.
99) Before marriage, I used to dream of staying up all night talking with my wife. After marriage, I find myself constantly sleepy.
100) After marriage, women lose one home and gain another; men lose one home and lose another.
101) Why does a man still look at other beautiful women besides his wife even after marriage? Hey brother, when you’re on a diet, is it forbidden to look at the menu?
102) Love is like a snake. People feed it milk and bananas and raise it with care. Then, just when they fall under its spell, it strikes and kills. Even knowing that death is certain from such intense enchantment, people don’t stop it—they don’t even try to resist!
103) Humans and jinns,
two separate races. Similarly,
women and wives, two separate races. Girls are one way before marriage,
another way after. The same
body, two forms. Nothing matches up in any way. That’s why there’s really no such thing as seeing someone before you marry them.
104) Better to live alone
for even a short while than to die bit by bit among people.
105) Even the fear of death
cannot postpone death, and in that fear some of the joy of living gets wasted for nothing. I am in favor of living with any pleasure that doesn’t harm anyone in the slightest.
106) When even today in the
gaze of sunlight, in every
breath of the wind, with
longing… I sense the presence
of those who have gone, then I have no wish to accept the consolation that death is surely a necessary event.
107) When we become
anxious about some crisis, it feels as if
it will never end.
Many people around us enjoy our anxiety. Most people take pleasure in seeing others in distress. Until you’re in trouble yourself, you can’t believe how much joy even someone you consider so close can feel watching you fall into danger! The funny thing is, when the crisis
is over, thinking with a
cool head we realize
the whole thing wasn’t actually as terrible as we assumed it was when we got stressed and
reacted.
108) If you have at least
one address in your life where you can
take refuge in any situation, and you know at least one phone number
where you can call and share all
kinds of sorrow, then you are
happier than most people.
109) If you find a friend
who knows how to enjoy your happiness, then you are very fortunate.
110) What comes into
people’s lives bearing so much promise… marriage. And then? From the body onward, its influence can be felt through soul and heart down to the blood. Still, it’s not as if there are no moments of joy. Then this relationship seems priceless. The rest
of the time it’s merely a habit. In most cases marital relationships survive
not on love, not on
affection… but on habit, on dependence. Years
go by, years come, and we become more and more accustomed to living with a
stranger. Sometimes we want to fly away somewhere distant, somewhere familiar, and even there we dream of discovering some unknown paradise even farther away. Just then we return to our loved ones thinking,
how will these two worlds
unite? Does anyone really know the
answer? How fortunate is the one
who has found the answer!
111) For one who has no one
to keep them warm, winter
is worthless in life. For one whose sweat no one wipes away, what value is their labor? For one who has no one
to scold them, do they ever truly get the joy of making mistakes?
112) Let those who speak
badly of you keep talking.
Poor things tried to say good things about themselves, and no one believed them. Help ease
their sorrow.
113) Those who took life too seriously also didn’t live much longer in the end. So what does that mean? Is there no point in taking life seriously? There is a point—it lets you live a little better during the time you have. But even that comes with no guarantees. Why? Life doesn’t unfold the way we think, plan, and scheme. Life moves at its own pace. And again, death can arrive at any moment and wash everything away.
114) Those who make themselves out to be very important are, most of the time, worth absolutely nothing. Those who are truly valuable don’t need to show their worth—when the time comes, everyone sees it naturally.
115) Those who can’t admit their mistakes—who don’t even see their own faults—are the hardest people on earth to live with. There’s no greater misfortune than keeping house with such a “perfect inhuman being”—a husband or wife who never does anything wrong.
116) In a house where a son lives with his parents, before his marriage there’s only one party—the ruling party. After marriage, an opposition party emerges, sometimes even an opposition to the opposition party. If there are multiple sons, after their marriages several independent parties might spring up! And if there’s a daughter in that house too, well, it’s better not to say much about the state of affairs there! Whether mother, wife, daughter, or sister—every woman is a box of jealousy, intrigue, and ego! They feel uncomfortable living peacefully without stirring up trouble or picking fights with their simple hearts. How a woman can create drama over the most trivial, insignificant matters—no one would believe it without experience!
117) A friend you can only keep happy with constant praise doesn’t see you as a friend—they see you as a fan.
118) No one can drink with more joy than someone who gets drunk on happiness just from seeing the bottle before even taking a sip.
119) No one is more miserable than a person remembered by others with distrust and dishonor.
120) You don’t need love to experience sexual pleasure, you don’t need sex to experience the joy of love. There’s no rule that love must include sexuality. There’s no rule that sexuality must include love.
121) The feeling that you must fight to survive sometimes becomes your enemy. Perhaps you’ll have to fight against people you despise, yet they love you. Where you can’t simply end any relationship whenever you want, how will you fight? You’ll try to fight, you’ll fail, and you’ll feel powerless and helpless.
122) People say drink coffee to chase away sleep, but I’ve found that crunching through money works much better for keeping you awake.
123) The words people understand least yet say the most are: I love you. Someone feels like kissing, feels like touching, and blurts out: I love you! What nonsense! People don’t pop paracetamol as casually as they throw around “I love you” and strain their voices.
124) When it comes to work you love, why keep track of time?
125) Many marriages are saved from certain divorce simply because children arrive. How many couples spend years upon years just looking at their child’s face, never looking at each other! If you search, you’ll find plenty of such constipated relationships.
126) The most joyful way to interact with people is with these three attitudes: I’m always learning, I still don’t know much of anything, others know more than I do.
127) Constantly changing decisions doesn’t always change fortune. Whether we like it or not, we must accept destiny.
128) Not everyone can drink honey—some, in their search for sweetness, end up crunching and devouring the honeybee itself.
129) Everyone returns to someone’s memory after death. We must live in such a way that our return after death brings comfort. You might ask, comfort or discomfort—what difference does it make to the dead person? True, perhaps it makes no difference to them; the dead have no feelings. But the people who loved them while they were alive—if someone speaks ill of the deceased, those loved ones suffer. If only for the sake of those who love us, let us live beautifully.
130) Fear of criticism keeps us from doing many things we love. Yet whether we’re well or poorly off makes no difference to the critics.
131) For the brave, misfortune is like a blessing in disguise.
132) Happiness is like a bubble—you can see it, you can speak of it, but the moment you try to touch it, it vanishes.
133) Three sources of happiness: feeling secure and protected, finding joy in life’s small things, keeping body and heart healthy and simple.
134) He wanted to become a millionaire and invested in the stock market. The rest is history.
135) She cried when it rained. I smiled when the sun came out. Our love never happened.
136) Never go where no one wants you.
137) I’ve seen many married bachelors who don’t know how to praise their wife’s beauty or cooking.
138) Alas, once upon a time, my hands were empty but my heart was full; now my hands are full, but my heart is empty!
