Daisaku Ikeda Opportunity Quotations

The problems of aging present an opportunity to rethink our social and personal lives in order to ensure the dignity and welfare of each individual.

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

Adversity gives birth to greatness. The greater the challenges and difficulties we face, the greater the opportunity we have to grow and develop as people. A life without adversity, a life of ease and comfort, produces nothing and leaves us with nothing. This is one of the indisputable facts of life.

No matter what kind of difficult situation one may find oneself in, some opening, some opportunity to fight one's way out, can always be found. What's most important is to hold fast to Hope, to face the future with courage.
