Rizal’s sayings
* All men are born equal, naked, without bonds. God did not create man to be a slave; nor did he endow him with intelligence to have him hoodwinked, or adorn him with reason to have him deceived by others.
Reaction
* This saying of Dr. Jose Rizal wants to tell us that all people in this world are equal, we are not born to be a slave. We need to show to others that if they are smart, we are also smart, and what are the things they can do we can do it also. Filipinos are not born to deceived by other country, we need to show them that we can stand on our own.
* He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his destination.
Reaction
- Those who don’t learn from the past, or be thankful for the people who helped you in the past, will not succeed. You will not be what you are now without the help of people from your past, thank them and don’t use your pride, even if they did bad things to you at least it helps you to succeed.
* The youth is the hope of our future.
Reaction
* Rizal’s vision of the youth was a genius call of foresight. Its underlying thought encourages the youth to take action, accept challenges, and take responsibility. Since the youth have seen the mistakes of the past they are expected not to repeat them.
* He who does not love his own language is worse than an animal and smelly fish.
Reaction
* A Filipino who does not love his own language will be treated like a smelly fish that gross to approach, they are just pretend that there are foreigner to look rich or intelligent but you still need to love your own language to show respect to your country.
