"Ang hindi marunong lumingon sa pinangalingan ay hindi makakarating sa paroroonan."
"Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan."
"Ang hindi magmahal sa sariling wika, daig pa ang hayop at malansang isda."
"I die just when I see the dawn break,
Through the gloom of night, to herald the day;
And if color is lacking my blood thou shalt take,
Pour'd out at need for thy dear sake,
To dye with its crimson the waking ray".
