More quotes by Daisaku Ikeda
While conservatism and self-protection might be likened to winter, night, and death, the spirit of pioneering and attempting to realize ideals evokes images of spring, morning, and birth.
Daisaku Ikeda
It is senseless to blame others or your environment for your miseries. Change begins from the moment you muster the courage to act. When you change, the environment will change. The power to change the world is found nowhere but within our own life.
Daisaku Ikeda
Let us give something to each person we meet: joy, courage, hope, assurance, or philosophy, wisdom, a vision for the future. Let us always give something.
Daisaku Ikeda
We have both a weak self and a strong self the two are completely different. If we allow our weak side to dominate, we will be defeated. The thought ,I am still young and have a lot of time, so I can relax and take life easy is a function of our own weakness.
Daisaku Ikeda

Daisaku Ikeda
Human rights will be a powerful force for the transformation of reality when they are not simply understood as externally defined norms of behavior but are lived as the spontaneous manifestation of internalized values.
Daisaku Ikeda

Daisaku Ikeda
A genuinely happy person is one who has rendered others happy.
Daisaku Ikeda

Daisaku Ikeda
Great art is created only through diligent and painstaking effort to perfect and polish oneself.
Daisaku Ikeda
One cannot, without reflection, make some into bearers of goodness and others into miscreants, judging them by relative positive or negative criteria. These, like everything else, change according to historical circumstances, the character of a society, the time and subjective points of view.
Daisaku Ikeda
Anyone who has ever made a resolution discovers that the strength of their determination fades with time. The important thing is not that your resolve never wavers, but that you don't get down on yourself when it does and throw in the towel.
Daisaku Ikeda
People who are rooted in the here and now, who are not defeated by their limitations, who don’t compare themselves to others, who confidently advance along their chosen path-such people are happy, such people are truly great.
Daisaku Ikeda
No one is born hating others.
Daisaku Ikeda
Keep moving forward, even one or two steps, in your own way. Those who live out their lives to the fullest, unperturbed by the noisy clamor around them, are the true winners.
Daisaku Ikeda
Increase your joy by doing the good you wish to have done to you.
Daisaku Ikeda
