Saving one animal won't change the world,

but it will change the world for that one animal.

You can tell a lot about people

by the way they treat their pets.

Frank Sonnenberg

The more I learn about people,

the more I like my dog.

Mark Twain

Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies,

quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure

love and always have to mix love and hate.

Sigmund Freud

It is more important to prevent suffering,

rather than sit to contemplate the evils

of the universe.

Buddha

If we could live happy and healthy lives

without harming others, why wouldn't we?

Pam Ahern

Love all. Serve all. Help ever. Hurt never.

Sathya Sai Baba

Although I can't stop all cruelty to living

creatures on the planet, I can be kinder

to every living creature in my life.

River Phoenix

Create all the happiness you are able to create;

remove all the misery you are able to remove.

Every day will allow you, will invite you to

add something to the pleasure of others,

or to diminish something of their pains.

Jeremy Bentham

I marvelled at how two souls - two completely

different species - could make each other

so happy. If you were kind to animals,

they repaid that kindness thousandfold.

People disappointed; animals never did.

Alan Brennert

When a man loves cats, I am his friend and

comrade without further introduction.

Mark Twain

The beauty you see in me is a reflection of you.

Rumi

To know even one life has breathed easier

because you have lived. This is

to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Do your little bit of good where you are;

it's those little bits of good put together

that overwhelm the world.

Desmond Tutu

We can judge the heart of a man

by his treatment of animals.

Immanuel Kant

Dogs are our link to paradise.

Milan Kundera

 

There is no happiness like that of being loved

by your fellow-creatures, and feeling that

your presence is an addition to their comfort.

Charlotte Brontë

To heal is to touch with love that

which we previously touched with fear.

Stephen Levine

The heart of a good man is

the sanctuary of God in this world.

Suzanne Curchod

Until one has loved an animal a part

of one's soul remains unawakened.

Anatole France

The dog is between the child and the angel

in terms of mentality, heart and feeling.

Anthony of Curtis

Someone Not Something

The animals of the world exist for their own

reasons. They were not made for humans

any more than black people were made

for white, or women created for men.

Alice Walker

The beauty you see in me

is a reflection of you.

Rumi

The problem is that humans have victimized

animals to such a degree that they are

not even considered victims.

They are not considered at all.

Gary Yourofsky

Animals are not ours to eat, wear,

experiment on, use for entertainment

or for any exploitative purpose.

Sharon Gannon

Once we accept this view of animals - as our

resources - the rest is as predictable

as it is regrettable.

Tom Reagan

Animals are my friends...

and I don't eat my friends.

George Bernard Shaw

The soul is the same in all living creatures,

although the body of each is different.

Hippocrates

I don’t want to eat anything that had a mother.

Fred Rogers

I don't see why someone should lose their life

just so you can have a snack.

Russell Brand

The soul given to each of us is moved by

the same living spirit that moves the Universe.

Albert Einstein

In every living being there is the desire for love.

D.H. Lawrence

There is no fundamental difference between man

and animals in their ability to feel pleasure

and pain, happiness and misery.

Charles Darwin

Jo Frederiks

We've objectified certain animals so much

that we refer to them as 'livestock'.

'Stock' that just so happens to be alive.

An inconvenience that they were

even alive to begin with.

Ed Winters

The pain that we cause is the cause of our pain.

Leif Erikson

Jo Frederiks

Every bit of meat, chicken or fish you eat,

every bit of leather or fur you wear,

has come from an animal that has

been tortured, pulled away from their

family and brutally killed.

Lewis Hamilton

Only those who are capable of loving strongly

can also suffer great sorrow, but this same

necessity of loving serves to counteract

their grief and heals them.

Leo Tolstoy

Jo Frederiks

One should not kill a living being,

nor cause anyone to be killed,

nor should one incite another to kill.

Do not injure any being,

either strong or weak, in the world.

Buddha

The world is not a factory and

animals are not products for our use.

Arthur Schopenhauer
