Regardless of how smart you may be, intelligence alone cannot guarantee your future.” – Daisaku Ikeda Quote #7 – Happiness “ is not something that someone else, like a lover, can give to us. We have to achieve it for ourselves. And the only way to do so is by developing our character and capacity as human beings by fully maximizing our potential. If we sacrifice our growth and talent for love, we absolutely will not find happiness.
True happiness is obtained through fully realizing our potential.” – Daisaku Ikeda Quote #8 – Wisdom “Faith manifests itself as wisdom.
