---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The German writer Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805) wrote these lines for a leading character in one of his plays.
"'The unconquered spirit drives me o'er life's billows; My planks still firm, my canvas swelling proudly. Hope is my goddess still, and Youth my inmate.'
"The Soka Gakkai is a youthful organisation. Even our older members need to demonstrate the courage of youth. Up to the end of his days, Mr. Makiguchi used to address members, saying: 'We youth.' Let's always advance with a youthful spirit!"
