We, who are the living, possess the past. Tomorrow is for our martyrs.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
People sacrifice the present for the future. But life is available only in the present. That is why we should walk in such a way that every step can bring us to the here and the now.
In every man the memory of the struggles and the heroes of the past is alive. But these memories are not incompatible with the desire for peace in the future.
I am a man of tomorrow, but I also live my past.
Every pessimist who ever lived has been buried in an unmarked grave. Tomorrow has always been better than today, and it always will be.
Surely martyrs, irrespective of the special phase of the divine idea for which they gladly give up their bodies to torture and to death, are the truest heroes of history.
Let us all be brave enough to die the death of a martyr, but let no one lust for martyrdom.
We who go out to die shall be remembered, because we gave the world peace. That will be our reward, though we will know nothing of it, but lie rotting in the earth - dead.
Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood - never.
We are tomorrow's past.
