Strength is the source of happiness. We mustn’t shy away from life’s challenges. We mustn’t be defeated. Refusing to be defeated equals victory. A person who perseveres to the end is a winner. In the course of promoting our movement, the Soka Gakkai has never pulled back in the face of any hindrance. We have kept moving forward. And that is the key to our success. Never to retreat a single step, no matter what–that is the Soka Gakkai spirit. Those who embrace this spirit can achieve unlimited victory.
