The Power of Sanctuary

The day the power of love
overrules the love of power,
the world will know peace.

Mahatma Gandhi


If we could live happy and healthy lives
without harming others, why wouldn't we?

Pam Ahern


Kindness, I discovered, is everything in life.
Isaac Bashevis Singer


Our fate is inextricably linked to the health and
resilience of the earth and our fellow earthlings,
and when these are harmed and made to suffer,
so are we.

Gene Baur


With great power comes great responsibility.
Voltaire


Farm animals are individual beings in their
own right. As such, they deserve our
respect and our help. Who will
plead for them if we are silent?

Jane Goodall


Man can no longer live for himself alone.
We must realize that all life is valuable
and that we are united to all life.

Albert Schweitzer


We can judge the heart of a man
by his treatment of animals.

Immanuel Kant


In compassion lies the world's true strength.
Buddha



I believe that the reson of life is for
each of us simply to grow in love.

Leo Tolstoy


A truth cannot be reached in scripture,
a truth has to be lived in
the innermost temple of your being.

Osho



Just how destructive does a culinary preference
have to be before we decide to eat something else?
If contributing to the suffering of billions of
animals that live miserable lives and, quite often,
die in horrific ways isn't motivating,
what would be?

If being the number one contributor to the most
serious threat facing the planet isn't enough,
what is? And if you are tempted to put off
these questions of your conscience,
to say not now, then when?

Jonathan Safran Foer


The heart of a good man is the sanctuary
of God in this world.

Suzanne Curchod


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


All were happy - birds, insects and children.
But grown-up people never left off cheating and
tormenting themselves and one another. It was
not this spring morning which they considered
sacred and important, not the beauty of God's
world, given to all creatures to enjoy -
a beauty which inclines the heart to peace,
to harmony and to love. No, what they
considered sacred were their own devices
for wielding power over each other.


Leo Tolstoy



Remember, the entrance door
to the sanctuary is inside you.

Rumi

Respect life and life will respect you.
Love life and love will shower blessings on you.

Animals are my friends...
and I don't eat my friends.

George Bernard Shaw


I did not become a vegan for my health,
I did it for the health of the chickens.

Isaac Bashevis Singer


The story of the chicken is the saddest story
ever told, and we are its authors.

T.B.A


The beauty you see in me

is a reflection of you.


Rumi



Our prime purpose in this life is to help
others. And if you can't help them,
at least don't hurt them.

Love is the beauty of the soul.
Saint Augustine


The soul is the same in all living creatures,
although the body of each is different.

Hippocrates


I believe that the reason of life
is for each of us simply to grow in love.

Leo Tolstoy




Now I can look at you in peace;
I don't eat you anymore.

Franz Kafka


Just how destructive does a culinary preference
have to be before we decide to eat something else?
If contributing to the suffering of billions of
animals that live miserable lives and, quite often,
die in horrific ways isn't motivating,
what would be?

Jonathan Safran Foer


Being healthy doesn't need to be expensive,
and with plant-based alternatives you can have
the same taste and texture as real chicken,
without the harmful effects to our body,
the environment and chickens.

Cameron Newton


Why are you so afraid of change? Nothing
in this world can be without change. Only
one rule is constant: do not do anything
inhumane to others.

Marcus Aurelius


Every time you spend money, you're casting
a vote for the kind of world you want.

Anna Lappรฉ


The greatness of a nation and its moral progress
can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

The greater your capacity for love,
the more beauty you find in the world.

In every living being there is the desire for love.
D.H. Lawrence


What we call love is in its essence
reverence for life.

Albert Schweitzer


I greet you from the other side of sorrow
and despair, with a love so vast and
shattered it will reach you everywhere.

Leonard Cohen
