--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"A sword is useless in the hands of a coward. The mighty sword of the Lotus Sutra must be wielded by one courageous in faith. Then one will be as strong as a demon armed with an iron staff."
(Reply to Kyo'o - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 412)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Unity of purpose is something that must be forged by genuine disciples who base themselves on the Daishonin's spirit and boldly take their place on the front lines of the struggle.
"... The Soka Gakkai is an organisation of members firmly united in purpose--an organisation founded by presidents Tsunesaburo Makiguchi and Josei Toda for the sake of promoting kosen-rufu.
"The Daishonin declares that 'we win through perfect unity [i.e., the unity of many in body but one in mind]' (cf. WND-1, 618). At the same time, victory is also proof of solid unity of purpose.
"I have won in every struggle for kosen-rufu by always making 'advancing in unity'our foremost priority."
