凯末尔·阿塔图尔克（1881年 - 1938年11月10日，1934年之前称穆斯塔法·凯末尔帕夏，1935 年至1937年为卡马尔·阿塔图尔克，通常被称为穆斯塔法·凯末尔·阿塔图尔克），土耳其陆军元帅和革命政治家，也是土耳其共和国的创始人和第一任总统。自从在土耳其独立战争胜利后一直担任着土耳其共和国领导人职务，以仁慈独裁统治进行了全面的进步改革，使土耳其现代化成为一个世俗的工业化国家。在意识形态上，他是一位世俗主义者和民族主义者，他的政策和理论被称为凯末尔主义。由于他在军事和政治上的成就，凯末尔被视为20世纪最伟大的领导人之一，也被现代土耳其人尊称为国父。这里收录他的语录以及关于他的评论，这一篇收录英语部分（或者有英译的），还有一篇全土耳其语的在下一篇。

个人语录
Men, I am not ordering you to attack. I am ordering you to die. In the time that it takes us to die, other forces and commanders can come and take our place.
士兵们，我不是命令你们进攻，而是命令你们去死。在我们去死的这段时间里，其他部队和指挥官可以来接替我们。
加里波利战役期间对第57步兵团的命令（1915年4月25日）
变体翻译：我不是命令你们战斗，而是命令你们去死。
If you don't have ammunition, you have bayonets! FIX BAYONETS! GET DOWN!
如果你没有弹药，你还有刺刀呢！装好刺刀！趴下！
指示他的士兵准备应对澳新军团对Chunuk Bair的进攻（1915年4月25日）
Our life here is truly hellish. Fortunately, my soldiers are very brave and tougher than the enemy.
我们在这里的生活简直就是地狱。幸运的是，我的士兵非常勇敢，比敌人更坚强。
写给Corinne Lütfü的信，来自加里波利半岛（1915年7月20日）
Hattı müdafaa yoktur, sathı müdafaa vardır. O satıh bütün vatandır.
There is no defense line, but defense territory. This territory is the whole of the motherland!
没有什么防线，只有防卫领土，这个领土就是整个祖国！
在萨卡里亚战役（1921年8月26日）中向土耳其军队发出的命令
Milletin hayatı tehlikeye maruz kalmadıkça, savaş bir cinayettir.
Unless a nation's life faces peril, war is murder.
除非一个国家的生存面临危险，否则战争就是谋杀。
变体翻译：除非一个国家的公民处于危险之中，否则战争就是犯罪。
“与阿达纳农民的交谈”（1923年3月16日）
Our object now is to strengthen the ties that bind us to other nations. There may be a great many countries in the world, but there is only one civilization, and if a nation is to achieve progress, she must be a part of this civilization. The Ottoman Empire began to decline the day when, proud of her success against the West, she cut the ties that bound her to the European nations.
我们现在的目标是加强我们与其他国家之间的联系。世界上可能有很多国家，但只有一个文明，如果一个国家要取得进步，她必须成为这个文明的一部分。奥斯曼帝国开始衰落，是因为它为自己在对抗西方的胜利而感到自豪，于是切断了与欧洲国家的联系。
对新闻界的讲话（1923年10月29日）
In human life, you will find players of religion until the knowledge and proficiency in religion will be cleansed from all superstitions, and will be purified and perfected by the enlightenment of real science.
在人类生活中，你会发现宗教的参与者，直到宗教知识和能力从所有迷信中被清除，并将通过现实科学的启蒙而得到净化和完善。
演讲（1927年10月）
You are the oldest democracy of the New World. We are the youngest democracy of the Old World. You, the great democracy of the New World, should take due note of your new sister democracy and should conceive its import. We are friends now, and we will be much closer friends in the future.
你们是新世界最古老的民主国家。我们是旧世界最年轻的民主国家。你们是新世界的伟大民主国家，应该充分注意你们的新姐妹民主国家，并应该理解它的重要性。我们现在成为朋友，将来我们会成为更亲密的朋友。
1927年致美国驻土耳其大使的演讲。引自：副国务卿尤金·V·罗斯托
...O Turkish child of future generations! As you see, even under these circumstances and conditions, it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and the Republic! The strength that you will need is present in the noble blood which flows in your veins!
...哦，未来几代的土耳其孩子！正如你所看到的，即使在这种环境和条件下，拯救土耳其独立和共和国也是你的责任！你需要的力量就存在于你血管中流淌的高贵血液中！
致土耳其青年的演讲（1927年10月20日）
Today the Soviet Union is a friend and an ally. We need this friendship. However, no one can know what will happen tomorrow. Just like the Ottoman and the Austro-Hungarian Empires it may tear itself apart or shrink in size. Those peoples that it holds so tightly in its grip may one day slip away. The world may see a new balance of power. It is then that Turkey must know what to do. Ally Soviets have under their control our brothers with whom we share language, beliefs and roots. We must be prepared to embrace them. Being ready does not mean that we will sit quietly and wait. We must get ready. How does a people get prepared for such an endeavour? By strengthening the natural bridges that exist between us. Language is a bridge... Religion is a bridge... History is a bridge... We must delve into our roots and reconstruct what history has divided. We can't wait for them to approach us. We must reach out to them.
今天，苏联是我们的朋友和盟友。我们需要这种友谊。但是，没有人知道明天会发生什么。就像奥斯曼帝国和奥匈帝国一样，它可能会分裂或缩小。那些被它紧紧控制的民族，有一天可能会消失。世界可能会看到新的力量平衡。那时，土耳其必须知道该怎么做。盟友苏联控制着我们的兄弟，我们与他们有着共同的语言、信仰和根源。我们必须准备好拥抱他们。做好准备并不意味着我们会静静地坐着等待。我们必须做好准备。一个民族如何为这样的努力做好准备？通过加强我们之间存在的天然桥梁。语言是一座桥梁……宗教是一座桥梁……历史是一座桥梁……我们必须深入我们的根源，重建历史所分裂的东西。我们不能等着他们来接近我们。我们必须向他们伸出援手。
在恰卡亚大厦的演讲（1933年10月29日）
Bu memleketin toprakları üstünde kanlarını döken kahramanlar! Burada dost bir vatanın toprağındasınız. Huzur ve sükun içinde uyuyunuz. Sizler Mehmetçiklerle yan yana koyun koyunasınız. Uzak diyarlardan evlatlarını harbe gönderen analar! Gözyaşlarınızı dindiriniz. Evlatlarınız bizim bağrımızdadır, huzur içindedirler ve huzur içinde rahat rahat uyuyacaklardır. Onlar bu toprakta canlarını verdikten sonra artık bizim evlatlarımız olmuşlardır.
The heroes who shed their blood and lost their lives on this country's soil! You are in the soil of a friendly country now. Therefore rest in peace. You are side by side with the little Mehmets. The mothers who send their sons to the war! Wipe your tears away. Your sons are in our bosom, are in peace and will be sleeping in peace comfortably. From now on, they have became our sons since they have lost their lives on this land.
那些在祖国的土地上抛头颅、洒热血的英雄们！你们现在身处一个友好国家的土地上。因此，安息吧。你和小穆罕默德并肩作战。那些送儿子上战场的母亲们！擦干你的眼泪。您的儿子们在我们的怀抱中，安然无恙，也将安然舒适地入睡。自从他们在这片土地上丧生以来，从现在开始，他们就成了我们的儿子。
为纪念在加里波利牺牲的澳新军团士兵的演讲（1934），这句话也被刻在新西兰惠灵顿塔拉克纳湾的阿塔图尔克纪念碑上
..Fakat bu prensipleri, gökten indiği sanılan kitapların dogmalarıyla asla bir tutmamalıdır. Biz, ilhamlarımızı, gökten ve gaipten değil, doğrudan doğruya hayattan almış bulunuyoruz. Bizim yolumuzu çizen; içinde yaşadığımız yurt, bağrından çıktığımız Türk milleti ve bir de milletler tarihinin bin bir fâcia ve ıstırap kaydeden yapraklarından çıkardığımız netîcelerdir.
Our principles must never be equated with the dogmas of books supposed to have come down from heaven. We derive our inspiration, not from heaven, or from an unseen world, but directly from life. Our path is guided by the homeland we live in, the Turkish nation of which we are members, and the conclusions we have drawn from the history of nations, which records a thousand and one disasters and sufferings.
我们的原则绝不能等同于那些被认为是从天而降的书本教条。我们的灵感不是来自天堂，也不是来自看不见的世界，而是直接来自生活。我们的道路是由我们所居住的祖国、我们所属的土耳其民族以及我们从记录了一千零一次灾难和苦难的民族历史中得出的结论所指引的。
1937年11月1日向土耳其大国民议会发表的声明
Tarih yazmak, tarih yapmak kadar mühimdir. Yazan yapana sadık kalmazsa değişmeyen hakikat, insanlığı şaşırtacak bir mahiyet alır.
To write history is as important as to make history. If the writer does not remain true to the maker, then the unchanging truth takes on a quality that will confuse the humanity.
书写历史与创造历史同样重要。如果作者不忠实于创作者，那么不变的真理就会呈现出一种让人类感到困惑的品质。

Even before accepting the religion of the Arabs, the Turks were a great nation. After accepting the religion of the Arabs, this religion, didn't effect to combine the Arabs, the Persians and Egyptians with the Turks to constitute a nation. (This religion) rather, loosened the national nexus of Turkish nation, got national excitement numb. This was very natural. Because the purpose of the religion founded by Muhammad, over all nations, was to drag to an including Arab national politics.
甚至在接受阿拉伯宗教之前，土耳其人就是一个伟大的民族。接受阿拉伯宗教之后，这种宗教并没有将阿拉伯人、波斯人和埃及人与土耳其人联合起来组成一个国家。相反，（这种宗教）松散了土耳其民族的民族联系，使民族兴奋感麻木了。这是很自然的，因为穆罕默德创立宗教的目的，就是要把所有民族都拖入包括阿拉伯在内的民族政治之中。

Religion is an important institution. A nation without religion cannot survive. Yet it is also very important to note that religion is a link between Allah and the individual believer. The brokerage of the pious cannot be permitted. Those who use religion for their own benefit are detestable. We are against such a situation and will not allow it. Those who use religion in such a manner have fooled our people; it is against just such people that we have fought and will continue to fight. Know that whatever conforms to reason, logic, and the advantages and needs of our people conforms equally to Islam. If our religion did not conform to reason and logic, it would not be the perfect religion, the final religion.
宗教是一个重要的制度。没有宗教的国家无法生存。然而，同样重要的是，宗教是珍珠与信徒之间的纽带。虔诚者的中介行为是不允许的。那些利用宗教为自己谋利的人是可憎的。我们反对这种情况，也不会允许这种情况发生。那些以这种方式利用宗教的人欺骗了我们的人民；我们一直在与这样的人作斗争，并将继续与他们作斗争。要知道，凡是符合理性、逻辑、符合我们人民的利益和需要的，都同样符合伊斯兰教。如果我们的宗教不符合理性和逻辑，它就不是完美的宗教，不是最终的宗教。

The foundation of our religion is very strong. The material is strong as well, but the building itself was neglected for hundreds of years. As the plaster dropped down, none thought to replace it and none felt the need to reinforce the building. Quite the contrary: many foreign elements and interpretations, as well as empty beliefs, came along and damaged it still more.
我们宗教的基础非常牢固。材料也很坚固，但建筑本身却被忽视了数百年。当灰泥掉落时，没有人想到要更换它，也没有人觉得有必要加固建筑。恰恰相反：许多外来元素和解释以及空洞的信仰随之而来，对它造成了更大的破坏。

Mankind is a single body and each nation a part of that body. We must never say "What does it matter to me if some part of the world is ailing?" If there is such an illness, we must concern ourselves with it as though we were having that illness.
人类是一个整体，每个国家都是这个整体的一部分。我们绝不能说“如果世界上的某个地方生病了，那与我有什么关系？”如果有这样的疾病，我们必须像自己患有这种疾病一样去关心它。
İki Mustafa Kemal vardır: Biri ben, et ve kemik, geçici Mustafa Kemal... İkinci Mustafa Kemal, onu "ben" kelimesiyle ifade edemem; o, ben değil, bizdir! O, memleketin her köşesinde yeni fikir, yeni hayat ve büyük ülkü için uğraşan aydın ve savaşçı bir topluluktur. Ben, onların rüyasını temsil ediyorum. Benim teşebbüslerim, onların özlemini çektikleri şeyleri tatmin içindir. O Mustafa Kemal sizsiniz, hepinizsiniz. Geçici olmayan, yaşaması ve başarılı olması gereken Mustafa Kemal odur.
There are two Mustafa Kemals: One is me, the flesh-and-blood, mortal Mustafa Kemal … The second Mustafa Kemal,… I can not express it with the word “me”, it is not “me”, it is “we”. That is an intellectual and challenging society, struggling in every corner of the homeland for new ideas, new life and the great ideal. I represent their dream. My attempts are to satisfy the things they long. That Mustafa Kemal is you, all of you. That is the non provisional Mustafa Kemal that must live and succeed.
现在这里有两个穆斯塔法·凯末尔：第一个是我，有血有肉、凡人的穆斯塔法·凯末尔……第二个穆斯塔法·凯末尔……我无法用“我”这个词来表达，它不是“我”，而是“我们” ”。那是一个知识分子和充满挑战的社会，在祖国的每一个角落为新思想、新生活和伟大理想而奋斗。我代表他们的梦想。我的努力是为了满足他们所渴望的东西。穆斯塔法·凯末尔就是你们，你们所有人。这就是必须活着并取得成功的非临时穆斯塔法·凯末尔。

Sovereignty and kingship are never decided by academic debate. They are seized by force. The Ottoman dynasty appropriated by force the government of the Turks, and reigned over them for six centuries. Now the Turkish nation has effectively gained possession of its sovereignty… This is an accomplished fact… If those assembled here … see the matter in its natural light, we shall all agree. Otherwise, facts will still prevail, but some heads may roll.
主权和王权从来都不是靠学术辩论来决定的。它们是靠武力夺取的。奥斯曼帝国用武力夺取了土耳其人的政权，统治了他们六个世纪。现在土耳其民族已经有效地掌握了主权……这是一个既成事实……如果聚集在这里的人……以自然的眼光看待这个问题，我们都会同意。否则，事实仍然会占上风，但有些人可能会下台。

看到我并不一定意味着看到我的脸。要了解我的想法，我的感受，就必须面对我。
Utkan Kocatürk教授在《阿塔图尔克的文化和旅游教育》一书中所引用的，第207页
I once went through books and wanted to understand what philosophers said about life. Some of them saw everything as dark. "Since we are nothing and we will reach zero, there is no room for joy and happiness during our temporary life on earth," they said. I read other books, written by wiser men. They were saying: "Since the end is zero anyway, let us at least be joyful and cheerful as long as we live." For my own character I like the second view of life, but within these limits: A man who sees the existence of all mankind in his own person is pathetic. Obviously that man will perish as an individual. What is necessary for any man to be satisfied and happy as long as he lives is not to work for himself, but for those who will come after him. Only in this way can a man of understanding act. Complete pleasure and happiness in life can only be found in working for the honor, existence and happiness of future generations.
我曾经读过很多书，想了解哲学家们对生活的看法。他们中的一些人认为一切都是黑暗的。他们说：“既然我们什么都不是，我们最终会归于零，那么在我们短暂的尘世生活中就没有欢乐和幸福的空间。”我读过其他一些书，都是由更聪明的人写的。他们说：“既然最终都是零，那么至少让我们在活着的时候快乐和开朗。”对于我自己的性格，我喜欢第二种人生观，但要在这些限制之内：一个把全人类的存在都看作自己身上的人是可悲的。显然，这个人会作为个体灭亡。任何人只要活着就能感到满足和快乐，所需要的不是为自己工作，而是为他的后代工作。只有这样，一个有理解力的人才能行动。人生的完全快乐和幸福只有为子孙后代的荣誉、生存和幸福而努力才能找到。

He is a man born out of due season, an anachronism, a throw-back to the Tartars of the Steppes, a fierce elemental force of a man. Had he been born in the centuries when all Central Asia was on the move he would have ridden out with Sulyman Shah under the banner of the Grey Wous, and his ruthless determination unweakened by sentiments, loyalties or moralities, he might well have been a Tamerlane or a Jenghis Khan riding at the head of great hordes of wild horsemen, conquering countries, devouring and destroying cities, and filling in the intervals of peace between campaigns with wild and hideous orgies of wine and women.lf, and with the heart and instincts of a Grey Wolf.

他生不逢时，不合时宜，是草原鞑靼人的后裔，是一个凶猛的自然之人。如果他生在整个中亚地区都在动员的时代，他就会和苏莱曼沙一起在灰狼的旗帜下骑马出征，怀着灰狼的心脏和本能。凭借他的军事天赋和不受感情、忠诚或道德削弱的冷酷决心，他很可能成为帖木儿或成吉思汗，率领大批野马，征服国家，吞噬和摧毁城市，在战役之间的和平间隙用狂野而可怕的酒色狂欢来填补。

几个世纪里很少产生天才。而我们这个时代的伟大天才被授予给土耳其民族，这是我们的不幸。我们无法击败穆斯塔法·凯末尔。
变体翻译：我们这个世纪的天才——几个世纪很少产生天才。看看我们的不幸，我们这个时代的伟大天才被授予土耳其民族。
这似乎起源于土耳其电视连续剧《库尔图卢什》（1994年），其中大卫·劳合·乔治说了这句话这样，它有时被引用为英国首相的真实言论，但实际上劳合.乔治可能根本没说过这句话
Now, this morning I had the great privilege of visiting the tomb of your extraordinary founder of your republic. And I was deeply impressed by this beautiful memorial to a man who did so much to shape the course of history. But it is also clear that the greatest monument to Ataturk's life is not something that can be cast in stone and marble. His greatest legacy is Turkey's strong, vibrant, secular democracy, and that is the work that this assembly carries on today.
今天早上，我有幸参观了贵国共和国杰出创始人的陵墓。这座美丽的纪念碑给我留下了深刻的印象，它纪念了一位为历史进程做出巨大贡献的人。但同样明显的是，阿塔图尔克一生最伟大的纪念碑并不是可以用石头和大理石铸造的。他最伟大的遗产是土耳其强大、充满活力的世俗民主，而这正是本议会今天所从事的工作。
巴拉克·奥巴马在安卡拉土耳其大国民议会发表讲话（2009年4月6日）
“士兵们，我不是命令你们进攻，而是命令你们去死。”
“除非一个国家的生存面临危险，否则战争就是谋杀。”
“要谋求持久和平，就必须采取国际措施，改善人民群众的命运。”
“我们现在成为朋友，将来我们会成为更亲密的朋友。”
“人生的完全快乐和幸福，只有为子孙后代的荣誉、生存和幸福而努力才能实现”
“人类是由女性和男性两种性别组成的，人类是否可能只通过提高其中一部分而忽略另一部分来发展呢？”
“我们不是靠祈祷赢得战争的，而是靠士兵的鲜血。”
