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

🐵 Animals Like Us 😀

The question is not, "Can they reason?"

nor "Can they talk?" but, "Can they suffer?"

Jeremy Bentham

I don't care whether they are capable of

thinking; all I care about is that they

are capable of suffering!

Jeremy Bentham

All beings tremble before violence. All fear

death. All love life. See yourself in others.

Then whom can you hurt?

What harm can you do?

Buddha

There is no fundamental difference between man

and animals in their ability to feel pleasure

and pain, happiness and misery.

Charles Darwin

If you reach for a gun and shoot a bird - just like

that, for fun, for 'sport' - read these few sentences.

The birds we call turtledoves choose one partner.

For life. But when one of them is gone...

the other remains. Alone. In an immense

sadness that is difficult to describe.

David Attenborough

Animals are the main victims of history, and

the treatment of domesticated animals

in industrial farms is perhaps

the worst crime in history.

Yuval Noah Harari

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

Animals suffer as much as we do.

True humanity does not allow us

to impose such sufferings on them.

Until we extend our circle of compassion to

all living beings, humanity will not find peace.

Albert Schweizer

Our task must be to free ourselves...

by widening our circle of compassion to

embrace all living creatures and the whole

of nature and its beauty.

Albert Einstein

The idea that we have the right to inflict suffering

and death on other sentient beings for the trivial

reasons of palate pleasure and fashion is,

without a doubt, one of the most arrogant and

morally repugnant notions in the history

of human thought.
