All these are the Georgian quotes. They mean almost everything to Georgian people. When we talk to people, we always mention one of these quotes as they are one of the highest meaning words in Georgian culture, Georgian Native Language, to our elderly, to our church, our religion. I always have tears in my eyes whenever I read these quotes in Georgian hand writing. I miss my country, my native country. The country where I was born,raised,developed, and the place where I was being taught my history which I hated the most but when I realize that I was missing much right now, I feel awkward and ashamed.
Good luck on your tattoos mate
