"Snow is the ultimate in whiteness; no dyeing will make it any other colour. Lacquer is the ultimate in blackness; it will never become white. But how different is the human heart in its fickleness! It can be dyed by either good or evil."

"Victor Hugo (1802-85) wrote there are 'Noble and mysterious triumphs that no other eyes see, that no renown rewards, that no fanfare salutes. Life, adversity, loneliness, abandonment, poverty are battlefields that have their heroes; obscure heroes, sometimes greater than the illustrious ones.'*

"Hugo's stirring words call to mind all our members bravely battling against unimagined challenges in these turbulent times.
"In my youth, I experienced a struggle of the kind described by Hugo. When Mr. Toda's businesses were in crisis, people heaped scorn on me, asking why our Buddhist faith didn't solve our problems. But for me, there was no other mentor in kosen-rufu than Mr. Toda. My heart remained serene and free of doubt. I was determined to chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and fight with all my youthful energy and commitment to protect my mentor never retreating a single step."
