Quote of the Week for May 4th

Hope transforms pessimism into optimism. Hope is invincible. Hope changes everything. It changes winter into summer, darkness into dawn, descent into ascent, barrenness into creativity, agony into joy. Hope is the sun. It is light. It is passion. It is the fundamental force for life's blossoming.

Daisaku Ikeda, President Soka Gakkai Internation (www.sgi-usa.org)
