No one can better bask in summer’s balm than those who have endured winter’s bite. Similarly, it is those who have suffered through life’s darkest hours who are able to truly savor the bright dawn of happiness. The person who has transformed the worst of fate into the best of fortune is life’s champion.Daisaku IkedaThe Author of this QuoteAuthorDaisaku IkedaBuddhist philosopher, peacebuilder, and educator.
