(1) 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.

(2) While a people preserves its language; it preserves the marks of liberty.

(3) There can be no tyrants where there are no slaves.

(4) He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his destination.

(5) The youth is the hope of our future.

(5) With the head and heart, we ought to work always; with the arm when the time comes when physical strength is needed. The principal tool of the heart and the head is the pen. Other prefer the brush; others the chisel. On my part, I prefer the pen.

(6) The main thing is that every Filipino must be a good man, a good citizen so that he can help his country to progress by contributing his heart, and if need, be his arm.
