Daisaku Ikeda
  • Humanity has experienced many revolutionary changes over the course of history: revolutions in agriculture, in science, industrial production, as well as numerous political revolutions. But these have all been limited to the external aspects of our individual and collective lives.

  • A great revolution in just one single individual will help achieve a change in the destiny of a society and, further, will enable a change in the destiny of humankind.

  • No one can live entirely on their own, nor can any country or society exist in isolation.

  • The wisdom and experience of older people is a resource of inestimable worth. Recognizing and treasuring the contributions of older people is essential to the long-term flourishing of any society.

  • In the past, human society provided encouragement and opportunity for people to extend support to each other, especially in highly stressful situations.
