Rizal of course favored reforms in Philippine society,
not only by Spaniards, but by the Filipinos themselves. He opposed the influence of the friars on that same society, for he saw them as an obstacle to freedom and to progress. He was devoted to the modernization of his country, so that, as he put it, she might take her place among the proud nations of Europe. But what he sought above all was that his country should be free, free from tyrants from abroad or at home, a country where there would not be any tyrants because Filipinos would not allow themselves to be slaves. It was the growth of a free people, proud of its past, working for its future, united in a common set of ideals. This vision it was which made him the center of the nationalist movement of his day and the principal inspiration of the Revolution.
