JOSE RIZAL 1. Ang hindi magmahal sa sariling wika, daig pa ang hayop at malansang isda.

He who does not love his own language is worse than a smelly fish. 2. Walang mang-aapi kung walang magpapaapi.There can be no tyrants where there are no slaves. 3. Ang hindi marunong lumingon sa pinangalingan ay hindi makakarating sa paroroonan.He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his destination. 4. Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan.

He who does not love his own language is worse than an animal and smelly fish. from the Filipino quote above that says, Ang hindi magmahal sa kanyang wika ay higit pa sa hayop at malansang isda." While a people preserves its language; it preserves the marks of liberty. He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his destination. from the Tagalog quote, Ang hindi marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan ay hindi makararating sa paroroonan. 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. - Letter to Fr. Pastells Genius has no country. It blossoms everywhere. Genius is like the light, the air. It is the heritage of all. Toast to the artists Juan Luna and Felix Hidalgo: Madrid, Spain Today is Christmas Eve. Whether or not Christ was born exactly on this date is not important. But chronological accuracy has nothing to do with tonight's event. A grand genius had been born who preached truth and love; who suffered because of his mission; and on account of his sufferings the world has become better, if not saved. Only it gives me nausea to see how some people abuse his name to commit numerous crimes. If he is in heaven, he will certainly protest! -Letter to Blumentritt One only dies once, and if one does not die well, a good opportunity is lost and will not present itself again. - Letter to Mariano Ponce
