"Each of you should summon up the courage of a lion king and never succumb to threats from anyone. The lion king fears no other beast, nor do its cubs. Slanderers are like barking foxes, but Nichiren’s followers are like roaring lions. [...] Strengthen your faith day by day and month after month. Should you slacken in your resolve even a bit, devils will take advantage."
From Gosho "On Persecutions Befalling the Sage" (The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 997)
