True individuality never comes to full flower without hard work. Therefore, you’re making a big mistake if you think that who you are right now represents all you are capable of being.

Nichiren explains that to know oneself is to know all things in the universe. When you change, your environment changes, too. When your inner resolve changes, everything is transformed. This principle is summed up by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s maxim, “Nothing’s outside that’s not within.”
-D. Ikeda

I hope that you will always speak the truth boldly, saying what needs to be said no matter whom you’re addressing. When it comes to championing a just cause, you must never be cowardly, never fawn, never try to curry favor. -Ikeda

A higher religion does not negate rationality. No religion that suppresses human reason can earn the trust of humankind. Buddhism, the “religion of wisdom,” is an extremely rational religion. In fact, it is so rational that many Westerners even question whether it can be classified as a religion, since it does not teach the existence of a supreme being in the image of humankind. -Ikeda
