Our voice resonates with life. Because this is so, it can touch the lives of others. The caring and compassion imbued in your voice finds passage to the listener's soul, striking his or her heart and causing it to sing out; the human voice summons something profound from deep within, and can even compel a person into action.
Daisaku IkedaBefore comparing yourself with others, win the battle with yourself. Strive to be better today than yesterday, and better tomorrow than today.
Daisaku IkedaKnowledge itself is a neutral tool that can be used for good or evil. Wisdom, in contrast, always directs us toward happiness. The task of education must be to stimulate and unleash the wisdom that lies dormant in the lives of all young people. This is not a forced process, like pressing something into a preformed mold, but rather drawing out the potential which exists within.
Daisaku IkedaDialogue and education for peace can help free our hearts from the impulse toward intolerance and the rejection of others.
