 There can be no tyrants where
are no slaves.
 I wish to show those who deny
us patriotism that we know how
to die for our country and
convictions
 Ignorance is servitude, because
as a man thinks, so he is, a man
who does not think for himself to

 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 product of sacrifice.
 Youth is a flower-bed that is to bear rich fruit
must accumulate wealth for its descendant

 Man works for an object. Remove that
object and you reduce him into
inaction
 One only die once and if one does not
die well, a good opportunity is lost
and will not present itself again.
 All men are born equal, naked without
bond. God did not create man to be
slave, nor did he endow him
with intelligence to have him
hoodwinked or adorn him with reason

 Without education and liberty which
are the soil and the sun of man, no
reform is possible, no measure can
give the result desired.
 To foretell the destiny of a nation it
is necessary to open the book that
tells of her past

 I die when I see the dawn breakthrough
the gloom of night to herald the day, and if
color is lacking my blood though shall take
Pour ‘d out at need for thy dear sake, to
dye with its crimson the walking ray ‘My
last farewell’.

Sa Aking mga
Kabata
He expressed his wish that native tongue should
be cherished and enriched.
Kapag ang baya’y sadyang umibig
Sa kanyang salitang kaloob ng langit
Sariling kalaya’ay nais rin magamit
Katulad ng ibong nasa himpapawid

Rizal scorns those who refused
to love their native language
when he said:
Ang hindi magmahal sa
sariling wika
Higit pa and amoy sa
malansang isda

He expressed his wish that the native
tongue should be cherished and enriched:
Kaya’t and marapat pagyamaning kusa
Na katulad sa inang tunay na nagpadala

He expressed his wish that the
native tongue should be cherished
and enriched:
Kaya’t and marapat pagyamaning
kusa
Na katulad sa inang tunay na
nagpadala

Apparently Rizal at an early age already
felt that some of his countrymen have
developed a colonial mentality to the prejudice
of our native languages.
Ang wikang tagalog tulad sa latin,
Sa ingles, kastila at salitang anghel
Sapagkat ang poong maalam tumingin
Ang siyang naggawad,nagbigay sa atin

Ang salita nati’y huwad rin sa iba
Na may alfabeto at sariling letra
Kaya nawala’y dinatnan ng signos
Ang lumbay sa lawa noong daking una.

Education gives Luster to the Motherhood
He pictured education as the foundation of
knowledge which gives endless glory:
Wise education, vital breath
Inspires an enchanting virtue
She puts the country in the lofty seta
Of endless glory, of dazzling glow

Through wise education, the youth is directed
along the path of righteousness and goodness:
It break’s immorality’s neck
Contemptible crime before it is halted;
It humbles barbarous nations
And it makes of savages champion

For the Filipino youth
He urged the youth to develop their talents
and find out what genius would be proclaimed
through out the world for having served the country:
Run for genius sacred flame
Awaits the artist’s crowning
Spreading far and wide the fame
Through out the sphere proclaiming
With trumpet the mortal’s name

For the Flowers of Heidelberg
Rizal found the inspiration in the beauty
of the blooming flowers and fragrance of the
woods.
When upon the shore you alight,
The kiss on you I press
Place it on the wings of breeze
That is may go with its flight

Hymn to Labor
Teach us ye the laborious work
To pursue your footsteps we wish,
For tomorrow when country calls us
We may able your task t finish.
For the labor of man sustains
Family home and Motherland

My Retreat
It is my faithful friend, which hurts me ne’er
Which when it sees me and always consoles my soles
Which in my sleepless night watches me with pray’r
With me, and my exile dwells in my sylvan lair
It alone infuses me with faith when
I’m doubt by all

The Song of the Traveler
Perhaps in desert a grave he’ll find
Of tranquility a refuge sweet;
Unremembered of his country and the world
He’ll rest in peace after suffering great

The Song of the Traveler
Go traveler proceed on your way
In your own native land a stranger thou art;
Leave thou to others the songs of love
To others the joys; you again depart.
Go , traveler, don’t turn back your face
for no one shall weep s you say adieu
Go traveler and down your sorrows all,
For your grief the world simply mocks
at you.

Farewell, parents, brothers, beloved by me
Friends of my childhood, in the home distressed;
Give thanks that now I rest from the wearisome day
Farewell, sweet stranger, my friend who
brightened my way.
My Last Farewell

D. Letter of Jose
Rizal to young
women of Malolos:
Summary and Analysis

 “To the Young Women of Malolos” is an
essay written by Jose Rizal while he was in
London upon the request of Marcelo H. Del
Pilar December 12, 1888, a group of 20
young women of Malolos petitioned
Governor-General Weyler for permission to
open a night school so that they might study
Spanish under Teodoro Sandiko.

Fr. Felipe Garcia objected their plan so,
the governor-general turned down the
petition. However, the women still
continued their petition of the school and
they succeeded in obtaining government
approval in a condition that Señorita
Guadalupe Reyes should be their
teacher. Del Pilar (who was in
Barcelona) wrote to Rizal (who was in
London) on February 17, 1889,
requesting to send a letter in Tagalog to
the brave women ofMalolos. Rizal sent
the letter to Del Pilar on February 22,
1889for transmittal to Malolos.

Rizal pays homage to 20 women
of Malolos who desire to educate
themselves. In this way, Rizal
sees in these women a ray of
hope in restoring the Filipino
women’s dignity and worth.
Rizal emphasizes the importance
of Filipino mothers Rizal refers
to different women in society:
mothers, daughters, wives and
even the unmarried ones.
