More quotes by Jose Rizal
Genius has no country. It blossoms everywhere. Genius is like the light, the air. It is the heritage of all.
Jose Rizal
The tyranny of some is possible only through the cowardice of others.
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
Each one writes history according to his convenience.
Jose Rizal
Death has always been the first sign of European civilization when introduced in the Pacific.

Jose Rizal
Friar! What a strange name. I don't remember having created such a thing!
Jose Rizal
Your enemies hate you more than they hate your ideas. Should you want a project to be undone propose it. Even if it were as useful as a bishop's mire it would be rejected. Once you are defeated let the humblest-looking among you sponsor it and your enemies to humble you will approve it.
Jose Rizal
Tomorrow at 7, I shall be shot but I am innocent of the crime of rebellion. I am going to die with a tranquil conscience.
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
While a people preserves its language it preserves the marks of liberty.
Jose Rizal
It is a useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal. It is like a stone wasted on the field without becoming a part of any edifice.
Jose Rizal
What is death to me? I have sown the seeds others will reap.
Jose Rizal
I wish to show those who deny us Patriotism that we know how to die for our country and convictions.
Jose Rizal
I go where there are no slaves, hangmen or oppressors where faith does not kill where the one who reigns is God.
Jose Rizal
Dying people don't need medicine, the ones who remain do.
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
Hold high the brow serene, O youth, where now you stand Let the bright sheen Of your grace be seen, Fair hope of my fatherland!
Jose Rizal
Let us not ask for miracles, let us not ask for concern with what is good for the country of him who comes as a stranger to make his fortune and leave afterwards.
Jose Rizal
Climate affects bipeds in the same way it does quadrupeds.
Jose Rizal
