Action Quote by Daisaku Ikeda

“One's true worth as a human being is not a matter of outward appearance or title, but derives rather from the breadth of one's spirit. Everything comes down to faith and conviction. It is what is in one's heart, and the substance of one's actions that count.” quote by Daisaku Ikeda
