More quotes by Jose Rizal
To be happy does not mean to indulge in foolishness!
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
Virtue lies in the middle ground.
Jose Rizal
It is not the criminals who arouse the hatred of others, but the men who are honest.
Jose Rizal
While a people preserves its language it preserves the marks of liberty.
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
Genius has no country. It blossoms everywhere. Genius is like the light, the air. It is the heritage of all.
Jose Rizal
Each one writes history according to his convenience.
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
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 have observed that the prosperity or misery of each people is in direct proportion to its liberties or its prejudices and, accordingly, to the sacrifices or the selfishness of its forefathers. -Juan Crisostomo Ibarra
Jose Rizal
The appetite is sharpened by the first bites.
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
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
What is death to me? I have sown the seeds others will reap.
Jose Rizal
The tyranny of some is possible only through the cowardice of others.
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
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
