I wish our nation to be the most beautiful country in the world.

By this, I do not mean the most powerful nation.

I have felt the pain of being invaded by another nation, and I do not want my nation to invade others.

It is sufficient that our wealth makes our lives abundant; it is sufficient that our strength is able to prevent foreign invasions.

The only thing that I desire in infinite quantity is the power of a noble culture.

This is because the power of culture both makes us happy and gives happiness to others.

My Wish
