The Differences Between People - A Guide to the Heart by Ryuho Okawa, Volume 230

What I want to say to young people is that while there may be various innate talents, athletic abilities, and intelligence, I feel that the saying 'There is no genius that surpasses effort' is more accurate. (Omitted) I believe that one can open up their path through their 'effort', 'power of habit', and 'power of aspiration'.
(From Chapter 1 'My Philosophy of Life')

All people are equal. They are equal at the starting point and equal in potential. While they are equal in the possibility of 'infinite evolution being promised', the world unfolds where the results of effort are not equal.
(From Chapter 4 'Principle of Enlightenment')
