Cenap Şahabettin was a Turkish poet who lived between 1870 and 1934. I never liked his personality, which can be summarized as an over-cosmopolitinized identity with a clinical inferiority complex, but I love the wit in some of his words. Şahabettin is like a treasure for a quotation hunter, though I will give just five examples:
* You can see eagles and snakes on mountain tops. However, one of them comes there by flying and the other does it by crawling. Where you are is not more important than how you get there.
* A tin box makes the worst noise.
* You should either find a way or make a way. Otherwise, get out of the way.
* I rarely see a person who likes poplars, because they stand straight.
* Don't bridle a dog, he may assume that he is a horse.
