Ferdinand Marcos

Let us not be so naive as to think that revolution is just a matter of social or economic discontent. ”

Filipinos are not worse than any other colonized people except that our colonization was a little longer, and the independence movement was always dictated in political terms, never in social ones. We borrowed terms, but we didn't understand them. ”

It is not true that I dictate what should be done. There is a dialogue. ”

If it were true that special favors were given to some of these people because they are my cronies, then they should still be here, and they should be wealthy. But who are these cronies? If there be any cronies in government, point them out, and we will investigate. ”

I will fight to the last breath, even though my family cowers in terror in the palace. ”

There is a standard joke in the family. Probably we should go into selling second-hand shoes. ”

There are many things we do not want about the world. Let us not just mourn them. Let us change them. ”

Filipino talents and skills are becoming ubiquitous in many parts of the world. Returning Filipino workers have helped improve our skills and technological standards. ”

I'll take my destiny, whatever that may be, but I'm going to fight for my dignity and my honor. ”

I can understand the Cultural Revolution of Mao Tse-tung. ”
