Daisaku Ikeda What Matters Quotations

We should all develop the mind to rejoice in, praise and share in the gift of those who have artistic talents and a richness of heart, whether they achieve wide recognition or not. Cultivating such a beautiful mind is a very worthy effort. Culture and art are not just decorations. They are not just accessories. What matters is whether culture enriches the essential substance of our lives.

We are responsible for our own destiny. What matters is how we improve ourselves from this moment forward.

What matters is the value we’ve created in our lives, the people we’ve made happy and how much we’ve grown as people.
