"Although Nichiren and his followers are few, because they are different in body, but united in mind, they will definitely accomplish their great mission of widely propagating the Lotus Sutra."
(Many in Body, One in Mind - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 618)

"Kosen-rufu begins with the human revolution of a single individual. One individual who has resolved to take action inspires another to do the same. That second individual then inspires another. Courage calls forth courage. This infinite chain of fresh resolve spreading from one person to another is the unchanging formula for developing our movement. That is why fostering as many committed individuals as possible is an indispensable requirement for achieving explosive growth in the development of kosen-rufu.
"The famous American inventor Thomas Edison (1847–1931), who was born on the same day as Mr. Toda, said: 'A shining diamond lies hidden within everything. If you polish it, it will sparkle.'[1] All our members are noble, capable individuals who shine like sparkling diamonds. Every one of them has a mission to demonstrate the greatness of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism. They are precious and valuable without compare."
