SGI President Ikeda's Daily Encouragement for September 19



Our existence in this world can be likened to a dream. The issue of by far the greatest importance and eternal relevance is how we face death, the inescapable destiny of all living beings. For in the face of death, external factors such as social status or position in the organization count for naught. Everything depends on one's faith, one's state of life.

Emo Phillips was a stand up comedian. Tall, rail thin, spoke in a weird voice and had funky hair. Kind of a bowl cut. He also said:

I used to think the human brain was the most fascinating part of the body. But then I realized, well. . .look what's telling me that!

Whatever befalls the earth befalls the children of the earth. We do not weave the web of life, we are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.

Chief Seattle

A racehorse is an animal that can take several thousand people for a ride at the same time.

Marjorie Johnson

When I eventually met Mr. Right, I had no idea that his first name was Always.

Rita Rutner

We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the internet, we know this is not true.

Watch your thoughts; for they become your words.

Watch your words; for they become your actions.

Watch your actions; for they become your habits.

Watch your habits; for they become your character.

Watch your character for it will become your destiny.



Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.



The hardest battle is to be nobody but yourself in a world that's done its best, night and day, to make you like everyone else.



Violent behavior is not a revelation of one's strength, but an attempt to conceal their weaknesses.
