===Proverbs===
''Ang hindî marunong lumingón sa pinánggalingan ay hindî makaráratíng sa paroroonan.'' 
:(— [[José Rizal]])
One who knows not how to look back to whence he came will never get to where he is going.

''Unang kagát, tinapay pa rin.''<br />First bite, still bread.<br />All fluff, no substance.

''Tao ka nang humaráp, bilang tao kitáng haharapin.''<br />You reach me as a human, I will treat you as a human and never act as a traitor.<br />(A proverb in Southern Tagalog that has made people aware of the significance of sincerity in Tagalog communities.)

''Hulí man daw (raw) at magalíng, nakáhahábol pa rin.''<br />If one is behind but capable, one will still be able to catch up.

''Magbirô ka na sa lasíng, huwág lang sa bagong gising.''<br />Make fun of someone drunk, if you must, but never one who has just awakened.

''Aanhín pa ang damó kung patáy na ang kabayò?''<br />What use is the grass if the horse is already dead?

''Ang sakít ng kalingkingan, damdám ng buóng katawán.''<br />The pain in the pinkie is felt by the whole body.<br />
In a group, if one goes down, the rest follow.

''Nasa hulí ang pagsisisi.''<br />Regret is always in the end.

''Pagkáhabà-habà man ng prusisyón, sa simbahan pa rin ang tulóy.''<br />The [[procession]] may stretch on and on, but it still ends up at the church.<br />
(In romance: refers to how certain people are destined to be married. In general: refers to how some things are inevitable, no matter how long you try to postpone it.)

''Kung 'dî mádaán sa santóng dasalan, daanin sa santóng paspasan.''<br />If it cannot be got through holy prayer, get it through blessed force.<br />
(In romance and courting: ''santóng paspasan'' literally means 'holy speeding' and is a euphemism for [[sexual intercourse]]. It refers to the two styles of courting by Filipino boys: one is the traditional, protracted, restrained manner favored by older generations, which often featured [[Harana (serenade)|serenades]] and manual labor for the girl's family; the other is upfront seduction, which may lead to a slap on the face or a pregnancy out of wedlock. The second conclusion is known as ''pikot'' or what Western cultures would call a '[[shotgun marriage]]'. This proverb is also applied in terms of diplomacy and negotiation.)
