Quote by Mehmet Murat Ildan

“To be sad or happy about something that time says now is the eternal disease of mankind! Something happened, don't be sad right away, wait; something happened, don't be happy right away, wait, wait for what time will say later, because what time will say when the time comes is more important than what time says now, because time can throw away its last word and completely change what it says now!”

“The way I figure it, everyone gets a miracle.

But if you consider all the unlikely things together, at least one of them will probably happen to each of us.”
