Mary Dollar "It is important to love people, to treasure everyone. To the extent that we love others, we will be loved. To the extent that we work for others' happiness, we will enjoy protection and support. This is the law of cause and effect. It is also the path for developing our humanity." "Love" by Daisaku Ikeda

Mary Dollar "The Earth gives people life; nations take it from them. The Earth nourishes life; nations throw it away. If nations are the products of men squabbling for territory and influence, then the Earth is the realm of mothers. This realm of mothers, who love life, is far greater and grander than the nation-states created by men." "Love" by Daisaku Ikeda
Mary Dollar "The important thing is to advance brightly, to strive for victory at each moment, right where we are; to begin something here and now instead of fretting and worrying over what might happen. This is the starting point for transforming our lives." Daisaku Ikeda

Mary Dollar "At a crucial moment it is the strength and courage of ordinary people who have no name or position in society that save the day. The famous, the well-connected, almost always have too much to lose, and they abandon the cause in order to protect themselves." Daisaku Ikeda
