"In order to create a positive future, we must learn good lessons from the past. The 20th century was a time of remarkable material progress on the one hand, but the lag in spiritual progress has created a situation in which the very survival of humankind is threatened. That is why we must make the 21st century and age of great spiritual progress."
The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 3: Kosen-rufu and World peace, Chapter 28: Peace, Culture and Education: The Flowering of a New Humanism, 28.15 Reviving the Culture of the Written Word, from the November 2017 Daibyaku Renge, translation released February 2019
