daily encouragement

If you believe, you are too small, to effect something, then try to sleep, when there is a mosquito in the room. (Dalai Lama)



At this place I want to write some quotes out of the novels from Daisaku Ikeda called "The new human revolution". I likes these quotes very much and I would be glad, if these quotes could be a "light on the horizon" for other people or could give them confidence too.

To decide, to do something, takes only a moment. But it determines the course of our life and our future. If we make no decisions, there will be neither progress nor development in our life.

If we want to achieve something important, we absolutely need persistence. If we stop digging a well after a few meters, because we find it too exhausting, we will never hit water.

No matter how nice our words could be: if they don´t agree with our actions, other people wouldn´t trust us. Behaviour and character are our greatest persuasive tools.

To make a new way viable - this begins with dialogue. Words, which are imbued with courage, sincerity and conviction, open locked doors in the hearts and heads of human beings.

Peace is no abstraction beyond our reach. It starts with creating a circle of trust and friendship at that place, where we are. While these circles are expanding to integrate more people, the universal peace will be realized.

Our biggest ideas or plans and our limitless compassion for other people - they will all do nothing, if we won´t have the courage to let follow action.
