Daily Encouragement
When something needs saying, it is our duty to speak out. When something is right, we should say so; and when something is wrong or mistaken, we should likewise point it out. Cheating, lies or scheming should be denounced with alacrity. It is precisely because we have done this that the Soka Gakkai and the SGI have developed to the extent they have. To say what must be said—that is the spirit of propagation and the essence of the Soka Gakkai and the SGI.

Daily Quote
Education at its best is a process of liberation from prejudice which frees the human heart from its violent passions.

And those who have learned to trust in themselves are then naturally able to believe in the latent capacities of others.
