“New ideas seem like frightening ghosts to people at the beginning; they run away from them for a long time, but they get tired of it in the end!”

“It’s very dangerous to invent something in our times; ostentatious men of the other world, who are hostile to innovations, roam about angrily. To live in peace, one has to stay away from innovations and new ideas. Innovations, like trees, attract the most destructive lightnings to themselves.”

“Great ideas behave like the Sun. Even in the middle of nowhere, they find people and shine on them!”

“It is impossible to catch today; it flows out from our palms! It is impossible to catch tomorrow; it flows out from our palms! We cannot hold them; they constantly run away from us!”

“Whatever their ideas or ideologies or religions are, always get along well with people!”

“On the path to truth, you can’t see many people; truth’s way is calm and quiet. Look around you, friend! Are there too many people on the path you walk? If there are, question your path! Get away from the crowds!”

“If your mind is tired, go get work in the fields!”
