(1)
Negara ini (Philipina) adalah seperti piramida,
terdiri dari jutaan batu . . . . . Dan batu fondasi dari piramida itu adalah
manusia biasa (Ramon Magsaysay).
(2)
Guns alone are not the answer. We must provide hope
for young people for better clothing, housing, and food ; and if we do, the
radicals will wither away (Ramon
Magsaysay).
(3)
Our military offensive is indispensable, since force
must be met by force. But our social offensive is the extra weapon which the
enemy cannot produce. Here the enemy meets democracy’s strongest element—the
ability to realize and satisfy the needs of its people without taking from them
their freedom and dignity as human being (Ramon
Magsaysay).
(4)
If you look at a farmer and his daily expenditure on
existing energy services, it is much higher on an incremental delta basis. And
then there is an emotional cost of not providing their kids with the right to
educate. If you calculate these costs in economic terms and create a financing
mechanism for them to buy it, the emotional delta cost is much higher compared
to their household (Ramon Magsaysay).
(5)
The mistake the world is making with the simple
peoples to try and hurry them into political concepts they don’t understand and
aren’t prepared to cope with. I know. I am a peasant my self . . . . . I say.
Spit on the big. fancy schemes. I want all the little things first. Then perhaps
we can get on to the bigger things (Ramon
Magsaysay).
(6)
The difference between both is that social entrepreneurship
has a much more financial transparency. There is no financial viability and
that is where a corporate sector make a difference because we maintain a
balance between both the financial status
and the social service (Ramon Magsaysay).
(7)
Saya percaya bahwa mereka yang berkekurangan
hidupnya, harus lebih banyak memperoleh perlindungan hukum (Ramon Magsaysay).
