“The integrity of the upright guides them,
but the unfaithful are destroyed by their
duplicity”
- Proverbs 11:3
“Upang maitindig natin ang bantayog ng
ating lipunan, kailangang radikal nating
baguhin hindi lamang ang ating mga
institusyon kundi maging ang ating
pag-iisip at pamumuhay. Kailangan ang
rebolusyon hindi lamang sa panlabas
kundi lalo na sa panloob!”
- Apolinario Mabini
La Revolucion Filipina (1898)
