Quote by Mehmet Murat Ildan

“If there is one thing in life that you should be very proud of about yourself, it should be this: I have never used violence against anyone in my life, I was given a gun in the war, I threw the gun on the ground; I neither clenched my fist nor drew a sword at anyone!”

“We are up to the hilt advocates for peace, and we earnestly war against war. I wish that Christian men would insist more and more on the unrighteousness of war, believing that Christianity means no sword, no cannon, no bloodshed, and that, if a nation is driven to fight in its own defence, Christianity stands by to weep and to intervene as soon as possible, and not to join in the cruel shouts which celebrate an enemy’s slaughter. . . . Today, then, my brethren, I beg you to join with me in seeking renewal.”

“My text doesn’t say, “being justified by faith, we feel we are at peace with God.” It doesn’t say that. It says, “we have peace with God.” It’s not a feeling. It’s a fact. Peace with God is not an emotional state of religious euphoria. If it were, we would be in a very precarious position, since our emotions ebb and flow like the tides of the sea. But it isn’t a feeling. It is a relationship, which is a stable relationship because God has established it through Jesus Christ and our fluctuating feelings can not alter it. Peace with God is an objective fact based upon an objective event: the death of Jesus Christ, and it’s these objectivities, these rocks, if our feet stand firmly upon them, which will rescue us from the shifting sands of subjectivity.”

“Peace is not the answer to every question, nor is it the solution to all problems، Peace is the meaning that gives everything its true, clearly visible meaning . peace don't treat your sadness to change it to happiness , peace make you see the meaning of your sadness , and Through this insight, you will smile in the middle of your sadness , and you will find out how to heal yourself . and you will stand again, with peace State , with new Attitude, which is waiting eagerly for all the waves of life to embrace them with love and peace.And you are sure, that in the depth of these waves, you will pick up the pearls of life for yourself . Because Who is afraid of diving into the depths of the sea , He will not find pearls , Who is afraid of climbing mountains , It will always be in the pits. Only peace gives a vision of everything in its true sense .”
