True love should be transformative; a process that amplifies our capacity to cherish not just one person but all people. It can make us stronger, lift us higher and deepen us as individuals. Only to the extent that we polish ourselves now can we hope to develop wonderful bonds of the heart in the future.
Daisaku IkedaWe are not merely passive pawns of historical forces; nor are we victims of the past. We can shape and direct history.
Daisaku IkedaUltimately, the only way to make good friends is to become a good friend yourself. Good people gather around other good people.
