This lifetime will never come again; it is precious and irreplaceable. To live without regret, it is crucial for us to have a concrete purpose and continually set goals and challenges for ourselves. It is equally important that we keep moving toward specific targets steadily and tenaciously, one step at a time.
- Daisaku Ikeda

Nothing must be postponed. Take time by the forelock. Now or never! You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.
- Henry David Thoreau

Life contains the capacity, like flames that reach toward heaven, to transform suffering and pain into the energy needed for value-creation, into light that illuminates darkness. Like the wind traversing vast spaces unhindered, life has the power to uproot and overturn all obstacles and difficulties. Like clear flowing water, it can wash away all stains and impurities. and finally, life, like the great earth that sustains vegetation, impartially protects all people with its compassionate, nurturing force.
- Daisaku Ikeda

If you can live through that(a difficult situation)you can live through anything. You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along".
- Eleanor Roosevelt

Pain Is Inevitable. Suffering Is Optional.

Winter Always Turns To Spring*

By challenging ourselves every day with rigorous fortitude, we are creating causes for a triumphant life. Let's each win and open the way to a springtime filled with happiness and fortune in our respective arenas. - Daisaku Ikeda
