These short sayings were taken from "Tut-gil" (The Way of Will), a collection of our Leader's sayings published in Korean by the Korean Family.
God's Will came before me. God is the beginning of Will, content of Will and purpose of Will.
***
To enter the Kingdom of Heaven, a man must with single heart never waver from God's Will, even though the highest position of glory in the world were offered to him.
***
Punch through the very bottom of Hell!
***
It is a primary rule that man must tread the path of indemnity for restoration without anyone's help.
***
You would change your mind when you meet hardship, but I never would. Even though death awaits me, I am destined to reach the goal. I am willing to sacrifice even my own life to achieve that goal because I am very much aware that the suffering that would spread to every part of the cosmos if I failed would be larger and more bitter than that of my own death.
***
Our way is to go the path that has never been pioneered before.
***
Just as we cannot change clothes while still wearing the old ones, so we cannot clearly see the New World until we have taken off the old concepts.
***
Don't try to plant seed and reap fruit for your own sake. Make both the motive and the result God's, and give Him the glory.
***
Goodness does not begin loudly. It appears without notice. But evil begins loudly; it appears with boasting, and then becomes insignificant.
***
Goodness is to give without reason.
***
Don't repent for doing good. Never barter away the goodness you've accumulated.
***
Make up for the leader's insufficiency. The man who judges his leader is a Cain; but he who worries about his leader's faults and tries to solve them for his leader will be in the Abel position someday.
***
He who wants to be a historical leader must meet the suffering and hardship of his generation and of history and drive them out. He must make the most of even disadvantageous events and surroundings. The true hero makes friends with even his enemies.
***
One who has suffered much can move others deeply.
***
History and the world will be ruled, not by the experts of theology and philosophy, but by the experts of God's Heart.
***
Remember that the Unification Church has risen up, not from the free world, but from the lowest place of suffering, the prison.
***
A man who does not like people cannot become a leader.
***
There can be no perfection where there is no confidence.
***
The most foolish one is he who knows the significance of the time, but does not carry it out.
***
One must stimulate and encourage oneself.
***
Tears, blood, and sweat: these are our weapons.
***
One who is afraid off fate may be swallowed up by it; but for him who strikes out at fate, it will give way for him.
***
Let us be a locomotive, leading the fate and fortune of the world in train!
***
Heartfelt tears overcome all corruption and barriers.
***
One who cannot love one's own country cannot love God.
***
Sacrifice must not contain any thought of self and of property.
***
You must not think that the responsibility given to you is heavy. You must remember when accomplishing your own 5% that God already did His 95% and suffered much for you.
***
Without fighting there can be no victory.
***
The greater your mission, the greater your suffering and hardship. A great mission is not given to those who are afraid of suffering and struggle.
***
For the restoration of 6,000 years of history God needs experts in every field.
***
So you must search for your own field of responsibility which no one can fulfill except yourself.
***
God is my Father. Father's work is my work. Unless I feel sorrow and suffering as substantially for God's Will as for my own, I cannot be in the position of True Child.
***
People and generations come to earth and pass away, but God's Will remains forever when it comes to earth.
