treats his fellow men.
The Kartilya can be treated as the Katipunan’s code of conduct. It

he had created, it was never published.

All your good wishes will be crowned with success if you have

The life that is not consecrated to a lofty and reasonable purpose is
not a poisonous weed.
To do good for personal gain and not for its ow
It is rational to be charitable and love one’s fellow creature, and to
adjust one’s conduct, acts and words to what is in itself reasinable.
Whether our skin be black or white, we are all born equal:
superiority by nature.
The honorable man prefers honor to personal gain; the scoundrel,

6. To the honorable man, his word is sacred.
7. Do not waste thy time: wealth can be recovered but not time lost.
8. Defend the oppressed and fight the oppressor before the law or in the
field.
9. The prudent man is sparing in words and faithful in keeping secrets.
10. On the thorny path of life, man is the guide of woman and the children,
and if the guide leads to the precipice, those whom he guides will also go
there.
11. Thou must not look upon woman as a mere plaything, but as a faithful
companion who will share with thee the penalties of life; her (physical)
weakness will increase thy interest in her and she will remind thee of the
mother who bore thee and reared thee.
18. The KatipunanCode of Conduct
12. What thou dost not desire done unto thy wife, children, brothers and
sisters, that do not unto the wife, children, brothers and sisters of thy
neighbor.
13. Man is not worth more because he is a king, because his nose is
aquiline, and his color white, not because he is a *priest, a servant of God,
nor because of the high prerogative that he enjoys upon earth, but he is
worth most who is a man of proven and real value, who does good, keeps
his words, is worthy and honest; he who does not oppress nor consent to
being oppressed, he who loves and cherishes his fatherland, though he
be born in the wilderness and know no tongue but his own.
19. The KatipunanCode of Conduct
14. When these rules of conduct shall be known to all, the longed-for sun of
Liberty shall rise brilliant over this most unhappy portion of the globe and its
rays shall diffuse everlasting joy among the confederated brethren of the
same rays, the lives of those who have gone before, the fatigues and the
well-paid sufferings will remain. If he who desires to enter (the Katipunan)
has informed himself of all this and believes he will be able to perform what
will be his duties, he may fill out the application for admission.
