"The Italian author Edmondo De Amicis (1846-1908), in his immensely popular children's novel Cuore (Heart), asserts that even the most illustrious individual is but 'a vile creature' if he brings grief to his mother. This is absolutely true. We must all treasure our mothers. No matter how high someone might rise as a leader, politician, or celebrity, if they don't treasure their mother, protect her, and make her proud of them, they are the lowest of the low."--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Neither non-Buddhists nor the enemies of Buddhism can destroy the correct teaching of the Thus Come One, but the Buddha's disciples definitely can. Asa sutra says, only worms born of the lion's body feed on the lion."(Letter from Sado - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 302)
