Commencement

I would hope that you listen with compassion . . . to the voices of the people, especially youth, and the desperate cries of the times.

Your personal actions and your cooperative efforts will lay the foundations of the world where culture of peace reigns.

Always honor the vows you made in your youth and forever stay true to the path that you chose to set forth!

The courageous, dedicated efforts you make from today will be looked on by humanity a century hence as the first steps in a revolution.

Tap the boundless potential inherent in the life of each and every person, to help move humanity in the direction of goodness and harmony.

Language education is a noble undertaking in that it emboldens the human heart to soar high in the boundless skies of life.

The truly wise is one who creates the highest value out of life, no matter what the circumstances or how daunting the adversity.

A life lived in pursuit of a grand ideal can be likened to a passage across a raging sea; the days of peace and quiet may be very few indeed.

Do not be bound by the narrow confines of a particular ideology or culture! Open wide the windows of your heart and life!

To live among the people, to share their joys and sorrows, to struggle on their behalf–this is the grand, proud path of Soka Education.
