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.

More quotes by 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
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
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
I wish to show those who deny us Patriotism that we know how to die for our country and convictions.
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
The appetite is sharpened by the first bites.
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
Death has always been the first sign of European civilization when introduced in the Pacific.
Jose Rizal
I have to believe much in God because I have lost my faith in man.
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
Man works for an object. Remove that object and you reduce him into inaction.
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
Virtue lies in the middle ground.
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
Dying people don't need medicine, the ones who remain do.
Jose Rizal
In the Middle Ages, everything bad was the work of the devil, everything good, the work of God. Today, the French see everything in reverse and blame the Germans for it.
Jose Rizal
Friar! What a strange name. I don't remember having created such a thing!
Jose Rizal
To be happy does not mean to indulge in foolishness!
Jose Rizal
The youth is the hope of our future.
Jose Rizal
Genius has no country. It blossoms everywhere. Genius is like the light, the air. It is the heritage of all.
Jose Rizal
