For Today and Tomorrow Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Saturday, June 9, 2012 We have to make ourselves heard. We have to speak out for what we believe in. When we, the people, boldly state our true convictions-never losing our optimism or sense of humor-the times will change. When it comes to speaking out for justice, there isn't any need for restraint. On the contrary, to be reserved or hesitant under such circumstances is wrong. 
Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Saturday, June 9, 2012 In any field of endeavor, making a vow is the foundation for achieving something great. If for whatever reason a person gives up halfway or backslides, his or her commitment hasn't been based on a vow. Halfhearted desire doesn't amount to a vow. 
From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Saturday, June 9, 2012 I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground. The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 444
