Jose Rizal quotes on freedom

14. It was a world which granted privileges to some and imposed prohibitions on others...Endowed with strength and eager to learn, one had to drag himself in a narrow prison cell when he could see an open field, a vast horizon in the distance; when he could feel the beatings of a heart; and when he believed himself entitled to enjoy the beauty of a dream.

34. Oh how beautiful to fall to give you flight, To die to give you life, to rest under your sky; And in your enchanted land forever sleep.

35. I go where there are no slaves, hangmen or oppressors; Where faith does not kill; where the one who reigns is God.

36. I die without seeing the dawn brighten over my native land. You who have it to see, welcome it--and forget not those who have fallen during the night!

42. There are no tyrants where there are no slaves.

43. Why independence, if the slaves of today will be the tyrants of tomorrow?
