-- DAILY GOSHO --
"Worthy persons deserve to be called so because they are not carried away by the eight winds: prosperity, decline, disgrace, honour, praise, censure, suffering, and pleasure. They are neither elated by prosperity nor grieved by decline. The heavenly gods will surely protect one who is unbending before the eight winds. But if you nurse an unreasonable grudge against your lord, they will not protect you, not for all your prayers."

(The Eight Winds 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 794)

--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---
"From the standpoint of Buddhism, it is no coincidence that we have encountered the Daishonin's teachings at this particular time and joined the movement for kosen-rufu. The karmic bonds of mentor and disciple are eternal. Based on the perspective of life spanning the three existences of past, present and future, we are all like-minded friends linked by deep ties, who have chosen to be born in this world to spread the Mystic Law."

The Buddhism of the Sun-Illuminating the World, [47] To My Friends of Each Division Engaged in Our Shared Struggle—Part 2 [of 6], Eternal Karmic Bonds, March 2019 Daibyaku Renge, translation released December 2019
