And yet though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioners of the   Lotus Sutra would go unanswered Nichiren Daishonin

It is the human being who creates history. You, yourself is the protagonist. Do not rely on others. You are the one who will play the part in this great drama. Stand up with great spirits! Break through your own shell! New eras begin with new challenges. Advance forward in each and every day! Should you forget to take on challenges, you will fall into indolence. Then only stagnation and defeat await you. Surpass the you of yesterday! And resolutely win today. In this lies the formula of complete victory. Daisaku Ikeda

A strong-willed or courageous person is always the master of his own heart.  Therefore he fears nothing, is defeated by nothing, and shrinks from nothing. The wise will rejoice and the foolish will retreat.  No matter what may happen, a courageous person advances against any obstacle like a fierce, raging wave.  He is, with head held high, confident like the sun, king of the heavens, shining above the clouds Daisaku Ikeda

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve this world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us; It is not just in some of us - it's in everyone! And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others! Nelson Mandela
