"Even an individual at cross purposes with himself is certain to end in failure. Yet a hundred or even a thousand people can definitely attain their goal, if they are of one mind."

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
"Second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda called out: 'Live out your lives with courage and confidence! We of the Gakkai must advance bravely! This serves our noble cause!'

"People around the world have high hopes and appreciation for our humanistic movement. How wonderful this is!

"All of you, my friends, who are dedicating your lives to kosen-rufu, are more admirable than those who boast worldly power and authority. You are spiritual champions.

"Whatever happens, always be courageous. Please convey the true greatness of the SGI with equal confidence to whoever you may encounter. A new drama will unfold from there."
