"It is enough for good people to do
nothing, for evil people to succeed."
“In questions of power, then, let no more be said of confidence in
man,
but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.”

JOSÉ
PROTACIO RIZAL MERCADO Y ALONSO REALONDA
(born 19 June 1861, Calamba, Philippines- died
30 December 1896, Manila, Philippines),
patriot, physician and man of letters whose
life and literary works were an inspiration to
the Philippine nationalist movement.
QUESTION:
To Jose Rizal, what is the most
important contribution of every Filipino
to his country’s progress?
ANSWER:
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. (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.)
"government of the people, by the people,
for the people, shall not perish from the
earth"
Jose Rizal's favorite quote by
Abraham Lincoln
|
"...pronouncing judgment after hearing only
one of the parties; it is sterring a ship
without reckoning its condition, the state of
the sea, the reefs and shoals, the direction
of the winds and current. It is managing a
house by endeavoring merely to give it polish
and a fine appearance without watching the
money chest, without looking after the
servants and the members of the family." pg

Charlotte Aldebron (13)
This last painting is from
the USA. It was Charlotte Aldebron's work that
inspired the young Indians to take up their
brushes. Here's Charlotte's explanation of her
piece.
"The painting is of a peace
dove hatching out of the earth. Around the
earth, people are dancing and everyone is from
a different country but they are all rejoicing
together."
