For seven years, I was not allowed to see the moon and the stars. There were days when they left me all alone by myself. I had no reading material. I had nothing. I was twiddling my thumb. I would walk and walk and walk across my room; it was a room about four meters by five meters, hoping that I'll get tired. And then when I get tired, I would fall asleep, knowing that tomorrow will be the same.

Do not forget

My friends do not forget that your readiness to suffer will light the torch of freedom which can never be put out. Do not forget that we who are now in the middle of our years must inspire the youth when they are almost in the brink of despair. Do not forget that the purpose of life is precisely reexamining our being, not merely a floating flotsam in the time, in the floods of time. Do not forget, as Longfellow said that we should never be like driven cattle, but be a hero in the strife.

My happiness

I am filled with happiness to be with you here this afternoon because this is the first experience in my life. For the last twenty-five years I have been a politician, we used to pay people to hear us. This is the first time people paid to hear me.

A sacred legacy

The Filipino asked for nothing more, but will surely accept nothing less than all the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the 1935 Constitution — the most sacred legacies from the founding fathers.

Ninoy's Last Speech, supposed to be read on Aug. 21, 1983

Forgive me

Forgive me for passing unto your young shoulders the great responsibilities for our family. I trust you will love your mother and your sisters and lavish them with the care and protection I would have given them.

Ninoy's letter to Noynoy (Benigno Aquino III), August 25, 1973

My only valuable asset

The only valuable asset I can bequeath to you now is the name you carry. I have tried my best during my years of public service to keep that name untarnished and respected, unmarked by sorry compromises for expediency. I now pass it on to you, as good, I pray, as when my father, your grandfather, passed it on to me.
