1. Ang buhay na hindi ginugugol sa

isang malaki at banal na
kadahilanan ay kahoy na walang
lilim, kundi damong makamandag.
(The life that is not consecrated to a lofty
and reasonable purpose is a tree without a
shade, if not a poisonous weed.)
2. Ang gawang magaling na nagbuhat
sa paghahambog o pagpipita sa sarili,
at hindi talagang nasang gumawa ng
kagalingan, ay di kabaitan.

(To do good for personal gain and

not for its own sake is not virtue.)
 3. Ang tunay na kabanalan ay
ang pagkakawang-gawa, ang pag-
ibig sa kapwa at ang isukat ang
bawat kilos, gawa't pangungusap
sa talagang Katuwiran.

(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).
 4. Maitim man o maputi ang
kulay ng balat, lahat ng tao'y
magkakapantay; mangyayaring
ang isa'y hihigtan sa dunong, sa
yaman, sa ganda...; ngunit di
mahihigtan sa pagkatao.
(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.) 
5. Ang may mataas na kalooban,
inuuna ang puri kaysa
pagpipita sa sarili; ang may
hamak na kalooban, inuuna ang
pagpipita sa sarili kaysa sa
puri.
(The honorable man prefers honor to
personal gain; the scoundrel, gain to
honor. )
6. Sa taong may hiya, salita'y
panunumba.

 (To the honorable man, his word is sacred.)

 7. Huwag mong sayangin ang panahon;
ang yamang nawala'y mangyayaring
magbalik; ngunit panahong nagdaan ay di
na muli pang magdadaan.

( Do not waste thy time: wealth can

be recovered but not time lost. )
8. Ipagtanggol mo ang inaapi; kabakahin ang umaapi.

( Defend the oppressed and fight the

oppressor before the law or in the
field. )
9. Ang mga taong matalino'y ang may pag-iingat sa bawat
sasabihin; matutong ipaglihim ang dapat ipaglihim.

(The prudent man is sparing in words and

faithful in keeping secrets. )
10. Sa daang matinik ng buhay, lalaki ang
siyang patnugot ng asawa at mga anak;
kung ang umaakay ay tungo sa sama, ang
pagtutunguhan ng inaakay ay kasamaan
din.

(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. Ang babae ay huwag mong
tingnang isang bagay na libangan
lamang, kundi isang katuwang at
karamay sa mga kahirapan nitong
buhay; gamitin mo nang buong
pagpipitagan ang kanyang
kahinaan, at alalahanin ang inang
pinagbuharan at nag-iwi sa iyong
kasanggulan.
(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. )
