"Untempered iron quickly melts in a blazing fire, like ice put in hot water. But a sword, even when exposed to a great fire, withstands the heat for a while, because it has been well forged."

"Our prayers as Buddhists are directed toward realising Nichiren Daishonin's ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land' and 'changing poison into medicine.' They reach every corner of Japan and the entire world.

"The Daishonin writes: 'Misfortune will change into fortune. Muster your faith, and pray to this Gohonzon. Then what is there that cannot be achieved?' (WND-1, 412).

"We of the Soka Gakkai respond to times of hardship by rousing courage, wisdom and compassion. We are a network of individuals who share the vow to achieve positive social and personal transformation in order to realise happiness for ourselves and others, and to bring peace and security to our communities."

The Eternal Citadel of Soka, The Great Light of Human Revolution, Sep. 15th 2018, Seikyo Newspaper, translation released October 2018

"I believe that now more than ever we need to widely implement the kind of education for peace and happiness that Mr. Makiguchi advocated. We must teach children the preciousness of life and a spirit of respect for others. We must foster in them courage and awareness as world citizens and help them develop the wisdom to put their knowledge to work for the happiness of all people.

That is the way to build an indestructible foundation for peace in the 21st century. Indeed, it is the only way.

"The accepting and upholding of this original Law is expressed in the single word 'belief' or 'faith.' The single word 'belief' is the sharp sword with which one confronts and overcomes fundamental darkness or ignorance. The commentary [Words and Phrases] says, 'Belief means to be without doubt.' You should think about this."

"Human revolution is nothing other than summoning the heart of a lion king and fighting on to the very end.

"There is some guidance of President Toda that I once shared with the sincere, warmhearted members of Chugoku: 'Kosen-rufu is a long endeavour. It is a lifetime struggle—no, an eternal struggle. No matter what storms of adversity may arise, do not be defeated! Advance confidently, assured of great victory in your final chapter.' 

"Cheerfully encouraging one another and winning in the end, irrespective of what happens along the way—let us advance victoriously, with this unflagging courage, positively transforming each obstacle we encounter, changing poison into medicine!"
