Supporting others, we win. And supported by others, we advance.' "As we warmly support and encourage one another as fellow members who share a vow from time without beginning, let's strive even more resolutely to achieve victory after victory. And while sowing the seeds of happiness for ourselves and others to our hearts' content, let us further extend our invincible, ever-victorious movement into the world and into the future."
