Quotes

  • I have committed many sins in my life. But stealing money from the government, from the people, is not one of them.
  • My countrymen, as of the twenty-third of this month, I signed Proclamation #1081 placing the entire Philippines under Martial Law.
  • No matter how strong and dedicated a leader may be, he must find root and strength amongst the people. He alone cannot save a nation. He may guide, he may set the tone, he may dedicate himself and risk his life, but only the people may save themselves.
  • Of what good is democracy if it is not for the poor?
  • Authority must be utilized by government to attain certain noble objective but this authority must be circumscribed.
  • The foundation upon which our nation stands is much richer and firmer than the sympathies that may occasionally divide us. And we never know this more truly than in Christmas time. In good times or in bad, under clear skies or under the shadow of uncertainty, the Christmas message is the imperishable one of joy, hope and brotherhood.
