"Leaders must never be arrogant. Those who are cannot foster capable people. Mr. Toda used to say: “The power of the Gohonzon (Nam-myoho-renge-kyo) is boundless and immeasurable. This means that our organization will definitely develop without limit. But if leaders arrogantly think that this growth is because of them, then, even though the membership may increase, contrary to their expectations, capable people will not emerge.”"
Rather than judging people as capable or incapable, it is best to look for each person’s strong or good points. We should discover and praise their inherent strengths and abilities. Whether or not capable people are fostered comes down to the determination and efforts of leaders."

"Therefore, from the very day you listen to [and take faith in] this sutra, you should be fully prepared to face the great persecutions of the three types of enemies that are certain to be more horrible now after the Buddha's passing. Although my disciples had already heard this, when both great and small persecutions confronted us, some were so astounded and terrified that they even forsook their faith."
