Words to live by
201 steps toward wisdom
In this book we have collected 201 quotes that we hope will become words to treasure and from which to draw inspiration.
The quotations are about half taken from writings and lectures by Daisaku Ikeda, while the others are words from writers, philosophers, activists, artists, scientists, Nobel laureates and poets from almost every continent and era, which Ikeda has shared with his readers and interlocutors over the years. We have gathered these quotes into four sections divided by theme: "Dreams and Hopes," "Striving for Good, "Overcoming Difficulties," and "Forging Character."
More information about the people mentioned can be found in the section "Biographies of people mentioned in the volume."
Our greatest hope is that as you open any page any, you will read words that can inspire you, remind you what you need to do today, offer a new perspective or help you to feel grateful for the life you have. A single quote cannot certainly change your life in a day. But reflecting on and putting into practice every day the wisdom contained in these pages will surely help you live better.
