This document contains 13 passages from Emilio Jacinto on various topics related to morality and ethics. Some of the key ideas discussed include the importance of dedicating one's life to a noble cause, doing good for its own sake rather than personal profit, treating all people with equality and respect regardless of attributes like skin color, being true to one's word, helping the oppressed and fighting oppression, and defining true nobility as having an upright character rather than social status or position.

The teachings of the katipunan(kartilya)
Spanish word: cartilla Emilio Jacinto
I--Life which I not consecrated to a lofty and sacred cause is like a tree without a shadow, if not a poisonous weed.
II--A good deed that springs from a desire for personal profit and not from a desire to do good is not kindness.
III--True greatness consists in being charitable, in loving ones fellow-men and in adjusting every movement, deed and word to true reason (Honesty)
IV--All men are equal, be the color of their skin black or white. One may be superior to another in knowledge, wealth, and beauty, but cannot be superior in being. (equality)
V--He who is noble prefers honor to personal gains; he who is mean prefers personal profit to honor.
VI--To a man with sense of shame, his word is inviolate. (true to his words)
VII--Dont fritter away time; lost riches may be recovered, but time lost will never come again.
VIII--Defend the oppressed and fight the oppressor. (doing what is right)
IX--An intelligent man is he who is cautious in speech and knows how to keep the secrets that must be guarded.
X--In the thorny path of life, man is the guide of his wife and children; if he who guides moves toward evil, they who are guided likewise move toward evil.
XI--Think not of a woman as a thing merely to while away time with, but as a helper and partner in the hardships of life. Respect her in her weakness, and remember the mother who brought you into this world and who cared for you in your childhood.
XII--What you dont want done to your wife, daughter, and sister, do not do to the wife, daughter, and sister of another.
XIII--The nobility of a man does not consist in being a king, nor in the highness of the nose and the whiteness of the skin nor in being a priest representing God, nor in the exalted position on this earth,
but pure and truly noble is he who, though born in the woods, is possessed of an upright character, who is true to his words; who has dignity and honor; who does not oppress and does not help those who oppress; who knows how to look after and love the land of his birth.
