More quotes by 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
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

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 youth is the hope of our future.
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
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
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.
