Selections from Makoto--Truth and Sincerity

The key to the solution of the world's problems-both the problems of the individual and those of the state--can be found in two words. These words are "sincerity" and "truth."....

Unless religion, scholarship and art have sincerity and truth as their essential core they are nothing more than hollow shells. If only we can find sincerity and truth. Ah, to find sincerity and truth.
