One should not be intimidated by the fact that so many hold such beliefs. Nor does the truth of a belief depend on whether it has been held for a long or short time. The point is simply whether or not it conforms with the text of the scriptures and with reason.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda

A coward cannot become a Buddha. We cannot attain Buddhahood unless we possess the heart of a lion. The harsher the situation, the bolder the stand we must take. This is the essence of the Soka Gakkai spirit.
Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (14 February 1951) p.89
Went to Y.'s in the evening. He has worked so hard together with me. I am eternally grateful will remember his family as long as I live - a humble family, like a stone by the roadside. I think of them as unknown comrades even more precious than the valiant, capable people now in the spotlight. I love them from the bottom of my heart; I trust them dearly.
