-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Whether the person you are talking to
pays any attention to what you are saying or not,
the seed you have sown through your words
is germinating in their hearts.
It is certain that their trust and belief
in what you are saying will also remain.
So, go ahead, speak out boldly with confidence and conviction!

"The renowned American scientist Linus Pauling (1901–94), who was a dear friend, believed that educators should devote their greatest attention to the freshman class or the beginning students.
"In every sphere of endeavour, new capable people are the driving force for growth.
"In the SGI, fostering one new member so that they can develop into a person who is a match for a thousand is the equivalent of introducing a thousand new people to the practice."
SGI Newsletter No. 8362, SGI President Ikeda's Editorial, Supporting and Fostering New Members in Faith Translated October 20th, 2011, from the November 2011 issue of Daibyakurenge.
