Articles of Rizal: Trubner's Record (journal to Asian studies) Proverbs 1. Low words are stronger than loud words 2. New king, new fashion The poor gets poorer, the richer Man promises while in need He who believes in tales has no own mind The saving man may afterwards be cheerful The most difficult to rouse from sleep is the man who pretends to be asleep The fish is caught through the mouth The sleeping shrimp is carried away by the current While a people preserves its language; it preserves the marks of liberty. It is a useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal. It is like a stone wasted on the field without becoming a part of any edifice. There can be no tyrants where there are no slaves. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.
