Danh ngôn của Ferdinand Marcos (Sứ mệnh: 9)

Leadership is the other side of the coin of loneliness, and he who is a leader must always act alone. And acting alone, accept everything alone.
There are many things we do not want about the world. Let us not just mourn them. Let us change them.
Little boys have amazing minds.
I was deposed by a coup d'etat, by friends that I trusted and aided by the American Government.
I often wonder what I will be remembered in history for. Scholar? Military hero? Builder?
History should not be left to the historians. Rather, be like Churchill. Make history, and then write it.
Freedom is not just declared; it is exercised.
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.
I have Chinese blood in me... I am not ashamed to admit that perhaps the great leaders of our country all have Chinese blood.
My countrymen: we have reached a turning point in our history. The choice is yours. Shall we venture into this brave new world, bright with possibilities, or retreat to the safety of our familiar but sterile past? I am for crossing the frontier.
To write our constitution is for the past, the present, and the future to come together all at once in one single motion, in one single heave, one single cry. For we correct the errors of the past and chart a new course for the future, based on the experience of the present.
There is a standard joke in the family. Probably we should go into selling second-hand shoes.
I can feel it in my bones that no matter what we do, even if we do not do anything, the revolutionary government of Madame Cory Aquino will collapse.
My friends in the opposition have forgotten that the constitution of the Philippines was amended in 1973 with their participation. The constitution mandates the administration, including the Batasan, or legislature, to convert slowly into a semiparliamentary form of government. The president in such a situation can issue decrees and edicts.
I would like to see whether my supposed successors can really operate the government without causing a crisis.
