A selection of quotes from Daisaku Ikeda’s published works on inspiration for daily living.

July 31

Those who can smile are strong. . . . Precisely when things are tough, that’s the time to encourage those around you with a bright smile. If the situation seems hopeless, create hope. Don’t depend on others. Ignite the flame of hope within your own heart.

From The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 1, Chapter 4.3.
