-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our dear comrades in the Chubu region
who are advancing along the path of courage 
with a stirring spirit,
let's give it our all to achieving our goals 
to the very end of today
so there are no feelings of regret!
Let's hoist a banner of glorious victory 
high above our proud stronghold!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The reason that you have survived until now when so many have died was so that you would meet with this affair. This is where you will cross the Uji River. This is where you will ford the Seta."

(Reply to Yasaburō 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 829)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Many years ago (in November 1973), I met with René Dubos (1901–82), a world renowned microbiologist who made important contributions to medicine.

"In one of his writings, Dr Dubos stated: 'History teaches that a man without effort is sure to deteriorate; man cannot progress without effort, and man cannot be happy without effort.'* Without effort, we deteriorate. This is indisputable. No one can become happy without effort."

41st Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders' Meeting, from excerpts of the 49th SG Headquarters Leaders' meeting May 2005, Action Is the True Proof of faith, May 14th 2019 Seikyo Newspaper, translation released June 2019. 

* Rene Dubos, The Torch of Life: Continuity in Living Experience (New York Pocket Books, 1963 ) p121.
