! The life that is not consecrated to the lofty

and reasonable purpose id the tree
without a shade, if not a poisonous weed

! Ang kabuhayang hindi ginugugol sa isang

Malaki at banal na kadahilanan ay kahoy
na walang lili, kundi damong
makamandag
! To do good for personal gain and not for
its own sake is not virtue

! Ang gawang magaling na nagbubuhat sa

pagpipita sa sarili, at hindi sa talagang
nasang gumawa ng kagalingan, ay di
kabaitan.
! 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
reasonable.

! Ang tunay na kabanalan ay ang

pagkakawang gawa, ang pagibig sa
kapua at ang isukat ang bawat kilos,
gawa’t pangungusap sa talagang
katuiran.
! Whether our skin be black or white, we are all
born equal: superiority in knowledge, wealth
and beauty are to be understood, but not
superiority by nature.

! Maitim man at maputi ang kulay ng balat,

lahat ng tao’y magkakapantay;
mangyayaring ang isa’y higtan sa dunong, sa
yaman, sa ganda…; ngunit di mahihigtan sa
pagkatao.
! The honorable man prefers honor to
personal gain; the scoundrel, gain to
honor.

! Ang may mataas na kalooban inuuna

ang puri sa pagpipita sa sarili; ang may
hamak na kalooban inuuna ang
pagpipita sa sarili sa puri.
!To the honorable
man, his word is
sacred.

!Sa taong may hiya,

salita’y panunumpa.
! Do not waste thy time: wealth can be
recovered but not time lost.

! Huag mong sasayangin ang panahun;

ang yamang nawala’y magyayaring
magbalik; nguni’t panahong nagdaan
na’y di na muli pang magdadaan.
!Defend the oppressed and fight
the oppressor before the law or
in the field.

!Ipagtanggol mo ang inaapi, at

kabakahin ang umaapi.
! The prudent man is sparing in words and
faithful in keeping secrets.

! Ang taong matalino’y ang may

pagiingat sa bawat sasabihin, at
matutong ipaglihim ang dapat
ipaglihim. 
! 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.

! Sa daang matinik ng kabuhayan, lalaki ay

siyang patnugot ng asawa’t mga anak;
kung ang umaakay ay tungo sa sama,
ang patutunguhan ng iaakay ay
kasamaan din. 
 ! 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.

! Ang babai ay huag mong tignang isang bagay na

libangan lamang, kundi isang katuang at karamay sa
mga kahirapan nitong kabuhayan; gamitan mo ng
buong pagpipitagan ang kaniyang kahinaan, at
alalahanin ang inang pinagbuhata’t nagiwi sa iyong
kasangulan. 


!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.
!Ang di mo ibig na gawin sa asawa
mo, anak at kapatid, ay huag
mong gagawin sa asawa, anak, at
kapatid ng iba.
! 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.

! Ang kamahalan ng tao’y wala sa pagkahari, wala sa tangus ng

ilong at puti ng mukha, wala sa pagkaparing kahalili ng Dios wala
sa mataas na kalagayan sa balat ng lupa; wagas at tunay na
mahal na tao, kahit laking gubat at walang nababatid kundi ang
sariling wika, yaong may magandang asal, may isang
pangungusap, may dangal at puri; yaong di napaaapi’t di
nakikiapi; yaong marunong magdamdam at marunong lumingap
sa bayang tinubuan.
!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.
!Ang di mo ibig na gawin sa asawa
mo, anak at kapatid, ay huag
mong gagawin sa asawa, anak, at
kapatid ng iba.
! 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. 

! Paglaganap ng mga aral na ito at maningning na sumikat ang araw ng

mahal na Kalayaan dito sa kaabaabang Sangkalupuan, at sabugan ng
matamis  niyang liwanag ang nangagkaisang magkalahi’t
magkakapatid ng ligaya ng walang katapusan, ang mga ginugol na
buhay, pagud, at mga tiniis na kahirapa’y labis nang natumbasan. Kung
lahat ng ito’y mataruk na ng nagiibig pumasuk at inaakala niyang
matutupad ang mga tutungkulin, maitatala ang kaniyang ninanasa sa
kasunod nito.

 “The Church by refusing to degrade you, has
placed in doubt the crime that has been imputed
to you; The Government, by surrounding your trials
with mystery and shadows , causes the belief that
there are some errors committed in fatal moments;
and the Philippines, by worshipping your memory in
no way recognizes your culpability
