Wildflowers, though they appear fragile and pitiful, are far from that. Appearances may be deceptive because wildflowers are never defeated by rain or wind. May we all learn from their example and never give up.

- Daisaku Ikeda

Japanese text:
どんなに可憐な野の花も、決して、ひ弱ではない。弱いように見えて強い。風にも、雨にも負けない。同じように、「何があっても負けない！」というのが、私たちの合言葉だ。
