"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."

Intention
"Intention is the measure for rendering actions true, so that, where intention is sound, action is sound, and where it is corrupt, then action is corrupt."
Believers
"The souls of two believers meet in the course of a day even if they have not actually seen each other."
Mevlana, Divan-e Kabir
‘Watch out that you don’t regret the matters of the past.
You are a sufi, so don’t mention the name of the past.
You are the ‘son of the moment’ during youth and old age,
As long as the present moment doesn’t pass away’

The Source
If you don't realize the source, you stumble in confusion and sorrow.
When you realize where you come from,
you naturally become tolerant.
You can deal with whatever life brings you,
and when death comes, you are ready.

Love
Every word of every tongue is
Love telling a story to her own ears.
Every thought in every mind,
She whispers a secret to her own Self.
Every vision in every eye,
She shows her beauty to her own sight.
Every smile on every face,
She reveals her own joy for herself to enjoy.
Love courses through everything,
No, Love is everything.
How can you say, there is no love,
when nothing but Love exists?
All that you see has appeared because of Love.
All shines from Love,
All pulses with Love,
All flows from Love–
No, once again, all is Love!
Love telling a story to her own ears.
Every thought in every mind,
She whispers a secret to her own Self.
Every vision in every eye,
She shows her beauty to her own sight.
Every smile on every face,
She reveals her own joy for herself to enjoy.
Love courses through everything,
No, Love is everything.
How can you say, there is no love,
when nothing but Love exists?
All that you see has appeared because of Love.
All shines from Love,
All pulses with Love,
All flows from Love–
No, once again, all is Love!

another joke from Temel
The time comes for Temel to do his military service and he is quite reluctant to do it because of the nightmares his mother sees almost every night.
His mother sees in her dreams that the parachute does not open when Temel jumps out of the helicopter and consequently he dies.
Naturally, there is no escape from performing the duty and the time comes and it is his turn to jump out of the helicopter.
When he says he can not do it , his commander asks him the reason why.
So he tells the commander about the nightmares his mother sees.
To persuade Temel to jump, the commander says " Okay...give me your parachute and take mine"
Temel seems relieved and pleased.
He accepts to jump and the parachute opens.
While Temel flows down happily through the sky , the commander falls down with a great speed cursing "F... your mum"

"John is in Cuba"
One day Temel was asked to draw a painting...
After he finished it, he named it "John is in Cuba."
His friends looked at the painting and said " You drew a woman with a man in bed...who are they?"
Temel answered " The woman is the wife of John and the man is the servant of John"
His friends asked him" Where is John then ?"
Temel answered laughing "John is in Cuba"
