More quotes by 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
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
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
Travel is a caprice in childhood, a passion in youth, a necessity in manhood, and an elegy in old age.
Jose Rizal
The youth is the hope of our future.
Jose Rizal
I wish to show those who deny us Patriotism that we know how to die for our country and convictions.
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
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
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
Each one writes history according to his convenience.
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
Death has always been the first sign of European civilization when introduced in the Pacific.
Jose Rizal
He who would love much has also much to suffer.
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
Genius has no country. It blossoms everywhere. Genius is like the light, the air. It is the heritage of all.
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
Friar! What a strange name. I don't remember having created such a thing!
Jose Rizal
