1. “.

One only dies once, and if one does not die well, a good opportunity is lost and will not present itself
again.”

Explain: 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.

2. “.I wish to show those who deny us Patriotism that we know how to die for our country and
convictions.”

Explain: Jose Rizal is said to have first expressed his sense of nation, and of the Philippines as a nation
separate from Spain, as a young student in Manila. Proof of this, it is said, can be found in two of his
writings. In his poem “To the Philippine Youth”, which he wrote in 1879, when he was 18 years old (and
which won a prize from the literary group), Rizal speaks of the Filipino youth as the “Fair hope of my
Motherland”, and of the “Indian land” whose “son” is offered “a shining crown”, by the “Spaniard with
wise and merciful hand”.

3. “.He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his destination.”

Explaination: It means that if you don’t look back or go back where we came from we will never our
destination. for example if you need help other people help you but when others need your help you
don’t want to help them, can you reach your dreams or destination without the help of our family? No
because without them we our nothing especially god

4. The youth is the hope of our future.”

Explaination: We believe a new generation of a future leaders is being born in the country. Dr. Jose Rizal
choose the youth to be the hope of our future because he trust us and he knows that we, the youth and
also the elders, can build a better future for our country.

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

Explaination: Many Filipinos have this problem that they think they are a nation of happy people when
in reality that behind their smiles is a sad, sad nation. Every time there is a problem, I noticed how a lot
of Filipinos tend to tell their fellow Filipinos who are trying to tell everyone something's wrong that,
"Come in, it's more fun in the Philippines." seeking to use that nonsense slogan as an excuse to ignore
their problems

6. "No good water comes from a muddy spring. No sweet fruit comes from a bitter seed."

Explanation: Let us just say that if a person came from a dysfunctional family, the person will grow with
despise and other negative emotions that can lead for the person to be insecure.

7. "He who would love much has also much to suffer"

Explanation: This means that even the prettiest thing can hurt you. He emphasized the intensity of the
feeling, he mentioned much love, which to me is not a rare thing.

8. The glory of saving a country is not for him who has contributed to its ruin.”

Explaination: You believed that what crime and iniquity had stained and deformed, more crime and
more iniquity could cleanse and redeem. ... Hate only creates monsters; crime, criminals; only love can
work wonders, only virtue can redeem.

9. THERE are no tyrants where there are no slaves.”

Explanation: This famous quote from Jose Rizal in “El Filibusterismo” takes off from Hegel's Dialectics
where the German philosopher theorized that masters can only exist if people submit to being slaves
and that the only way to gain freedom is to overcome the fear of death.

10. “He who does not love his own language is worse than an animal and smelly fish”

Explanation: This quotes means if we use our own language to communicate with the same Filipino we
will understand what we talk and to share. But we use other language to communicate to other
countries to share ideas and talk to them

11. While a people preserve its language; it preserves the marks of liberty. As we preserve our own
nationalism we also preserves our dignity being a Filipino in a pure heart
