Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda

Let's read the Gosho regularly. Even just a little is fine. Even a single sentence. Just opening the Gosho is a start. At any rate, let's strive to read the Daishonin's writings. It's important to have the spirit to study the Gosho, to open up the Gosho. Even if you forget what you've read, something profound will have been engraved in the depths of your life.
From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin

Even an individual at cross purposes with himself is certain to end in failure. Yet a hundred or even a thousand people can definitely attain their goal, if they are of one mind.
Many in Body, One in Mind

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda

One who has mastered himself is truly free. Freedom lies in the heart of the sage, servitude in the heart of the fool.
Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (29 August 1950) p.44
Mr. Toda told me, "I'm depending on you." Powerful and encouraging words. Delighted that he trusts me and expects more from me than from anyone else. In response to his encouragement, I will sound again the bell of the century. Let those who wish to leave him, leave.
Must become a young hero, a young warrior. I will carry out Mr Toda's will.
My handwriting has become completely illegible. It seems I can't stop scribbling.
