This summer when I was in my homecountry, Eritrea, along with thousands of fellow eritreans from around the world, we got to visit the heart of the eritrean defence force, Sawa - the military base. And on the walls of the huge rooms where we slept, there was quotes written. So I took the liberty of writing them down.
"Everybody wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die."
"Had there been no departure, acquaintance could have been the best."
"Close your eyes to pity."
"The world is a dangerous place to live in, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who watch it and let it happen."
"Optimists look forward to the future."
"Absence make the heart grow fonder."
"All that glitters is not gold."
"A useless life is an early death."
"The talent of success is nothing more than doing."
"There is no darkness but ignorance."
"Failing to plan is planning to fail."
"To never make a decision is never to make a mistake. Not to decide is to decide."
"Every closed eye is not asleep."
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
"Do what you can with what you have wherever you are."
