More quotes by Jose Rizal
To live is to be among men, and to be among men is to struggle, a struggle not only with them but with oneself with their passions, but also with one's own.
Jose Rizal
I honor the father in his son, not the son in his father. Each one receives a reward or punishment for his deeds, but not for the acts of others.
Jose Rizal
Oh how beautiful to fall to give you flight, to die to give you life, to rest under your sky and in your enchanted land forever sleep.
Jose Rizal

Jose Rizal
Virtue lies in the middle ground.

Jose Rizal
Ignorance is servitude, because as a man thinks, so he is a man who does not think for himself and allows himself to be guided by the thought of another is like the beast led by a halter.
Jose Rizal
Travel is a caprice in childhood, a passion in youth, a necessity in manhood, and an elegy in old age.
Jose Rizal
But because their ancestors were men of righteousness, shall we consent to the abuses of their degenerate descendants? Because they did us a great good, would we be guilty if we prevented them from doing us evil?
Jose Rizal
The appetite is sharpened by the first bites.
Jose Rizal
Death has always been the first sign of European civilization when introduced in the Pacific.
Jose Rizal
Treat your old parents as you would like to be treated by your children later.

Jose Rizal
