How long have you been away from the country? Laruja asked Ibarra. Almost seven years. Then you have probably forgotten all about it. Quite the contrary. Even if my country does seem to have forgotten me, I have always thought about it.

More quotes by Jose Rizal
The appetite is sharpened by the first bites.
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
Death has always been the first sign of European civilization when introduced in the Pacific.
Jose Rizal
Climate affects bipeds in the same way it does quadrupeds.
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
I go where there are no slaves, hangmen or oppressors where faith does not kill where the one who reigns is God.
Jose Rizal
One only dies once, and if one does not die well, a good opportunity is lost and will not present itself again.
Jose Rizal
Each one writes history according to his convenience.
Jose Rizal
No one blames a pilot who takes refuge in port when the storm begins to blow. It is not cowardice to duck under a bullet what is wrong is to defy it only to fall and never rise again.
Jose Rizal
I have to believe much in God because I have lost my faith in man.
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
Dying people don't need medicine, the ones who remain do.
Jose Rizal
No, let us not make God in our image, poor inhabitants that we are of a distant planet lost in infinite space. However brilliant and sublime our intelligence may be, it is scarcely more than a small spark which shines and in an instant is extinguished, and it alone can give us no idea of that blaze, that conflagration, that ocean of light!
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
I don't see why I should bow my head when I could hold it high, or place it in the hands of my enemies when I can defeat them.
Jose Rizal
To be happy does not mean to indulge in foolishness!
Jose Rizal
The youth is the hope of our future.
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
Virtue lies in the middle ground.
Jose Rizal
