People with a purpose don't waste a moment of their lives, whatever the age they reach. Putting the hardships, studies and experiences of their youth to work for them, they bring their lives to completion with dignity. Their lives are fuller by several times than those persons without purpose.
~Daisaku Ikeda

Those who have a firm grasp of the reason and purpose of which they are engaged in a particular undertaking are strong. If this point is firmly established, then your life will be free from confusion. No matter how painful the circumstances, you will not lose heart, but you will be able to keep growing strong and upright.
~Daisaku Ikeda
