Here are some inspiring quotes from Nichiren Daishonin: On resilience: "Winter always turns to spring. Never, from ancient times on, has anyone heard or seen of winter turning back to autumn. Nor have we ever heard of a person in the cold of winter who did not become the spring." On facing challenges: "Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens." On steadfastness: "A sword will be useless in the hands of a coward. The mighty sword of the Lotus Sutra must be wielded by a person of courageous faith." On inner value: "Life is the most precious of all treasures. Even one extra day of life is worth more than ten million ryo of gold."
