"Nothing can equal the splendor of youth. To be young is to possess a treasure of infinite worth far greater than any person of power. Youth, and indeed life itself, flashes by in the blink of an eye. That is why it is important for you to ask yourselves what you can do for those who are suffering, what you can do to resolve the mournful contradictions that plague society, and to boldly take on these great challenges without shunning the subsequent problems and difficulties you will inevitably face."

-SGI PRESIDENT DAISAKU IKEDA
