Certe adveniente die judicii, non quæretur a nobis quid legimus, sed quid fecimus; nec quam bene diximus, sed quam religiose viximus.

Suzuki Philosophy




"One day a foreign priest I knew came to my house and said, 'You should come to church and pray harder to enter the kingdom of heaven.'
'No, Father,' I replied, 'I am no longer so presumptuous and irresponsible as to ask for the kingdom of heaven.'
I will help the church as much as I can, but I do not ask for anything in return. I can only say 'Thank you' for everything I have received already."

~ Shinichi Suzuki, Nurtured by Love
