More quotes by 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
Treat your old parents as you would like to be treated by your children later.
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
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
Friar! What a strange name. I don't remember having created such a thing!
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 tyranny of some is possible only through the cowardice of others.
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
What is death to me? I have sown the seeds others will reap.
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
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
It is not the criminals who arouse the hatred of others, but the men who are honest.
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
The appetite is sharpened by the first bites.
Jose Rizal
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.
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
The youth is the hope of our future.
Jose Rizal
Travel is a caprice in childhood, a passion in youth, a necessity in manhood, and an elegy in old age.
Jose Rizal
