Nothing, really. I read “Liham ni Rizal sa Kadalagahan ng Malolos, Bulacan” for a school assignment and thought that I should save this somewhere.

 (I read the English version first. Shhh.)

“If she is a maiden, the young man should love her not only because of her beauty and her amiable character, but alson on account of her fortitude of mind and loftiness of purpose, which quicken and elevate the feeble and timid and ward off all vain thoughts.”
