[Noli Me Tángere]*
“One only dies once, and if one does not die well, a good opportunity is lost and will not present itself again.” “I have to believe much in God because I have lost my faith in man.” “He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his destination.”

— José Rizal Disputed

His coming to the world is like the appearance of a rare comet, whose brilliance appears only every other century.

He who would love much has also much to suffer.

The tyranny of some is possible only through the cowardice of others.

Filipinos don't realize that victory is the child of struggle, that joy blossoms from suffering, and redemption is a product of sacrifice.
