Quote by Giannis Delimitsos

“Don’t just tell children to seek gentleness and greatness, because they won’t understand what these words could mean. Instead, show them the lives of gentle and great people, and narrate their noble deeds. Children will immediately be carried by a longing for the same things, or for even better ones.”

“Kral Fakir (Servant King Sonnet) İnsanı seven herkes resul, Yardım eden herkes kraldır. Bencil servet hayvanlara mübarek, İnsan ben, kimliğim kral fakir. Every human who loves a human is apostle, Every human who helps a human is king. Animals may feast on selfish luxury, As for me, I am a servant king. King is the servant, Servant is king. Being is the harvest, Harvest is the being. Life lived for self is goods, Life lived for others is gift. Time spent on self is product, Time spent on others is present. You can spend thousands on the shallow, Still it won't be enough to fill their eyes. Spend a single wise cent on someone in need, It'll fill their heart with new vigor of life.”

“Eternally place on hold the voice that justifies stories in your mind about inadequacy. Make love with the voice that attributes all the logic under the sun as to why you are adequate. Hold on to it, allow it to whisper sweetness in your ear. Abide with it, believe it. Discontinue ripping yourself to shreds. Quit admitting blasphemous utterances about yourself in your dwelling.”
