“If you give to get something, you’re not giving, you’re trading. Your motives are second in importance only to your actions”

“people may give words of suggestion but in the end your words will the final”

“Try your best in everything you do...except if you are trying to make others happy...that is something that only they can do for themselves.”

“Religion, in refusing to degrade you, has placed in doubt the crime imputed to you; the government, in surrounding your case with mystery and shadow, gives reason for belief in some error, committed in fatal moments; and all the Philippines, in venerating your memory and calling you martyrs, in no way acknowledges your guilt.”

“You’re only poor if you give up. The most important thing is that you did something. Most people only talk and dream of getting rich. You’ve done something.”

“Sometimes it seems to stand still. Like you’re in a bag and you can’t get out and somebody’s always telling you that it will get better with time and time just seems to stand still and laugh at you and your pain.”

“visualize your goal first, before making your plans”
