to help, or at least, to do no harm.

Hippocrates

Whenever you are creating beauty around you,

you are restoring your own soul.

Alice Walker

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

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

William Shakespeare

I hope life treats you as well as you treat animals.

Ricky Gervais

If I can stop one heart from breaking,

I shall not live in vain,

If I can ease one life the aching,

Or cool one pain,

Or help one fainting robin

Unto his nest again,

I shall not live in vain.

Emily Dickinson

The soul is the same in all living creatures,

although the body of each is different.

lose, but in the end, love will return

in a different form.

How to Go Vegan

It is our hearts, not just our heads,

that demand of us that we overcome,

for them, the habits and forces

behind their systematic oppression.

That requires both our passion and

our discipline. The fate of animals

is in our hands. God grant

we are equal to the task.

Tom Regan

Success is not achieved by the impractical who

merely contemplate, but by the individuals

who face reality head-on and take

purposeful action.

Plato

Once we're thrown off our habitual paths,

we think all is lost, but it's only here

that the new and the good begins.

Once I learned what was happening to animals,

I couldn't not do something. Every single day

I make choices that take them into consideration.

Elaine Hendrix

I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard

of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to

be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.

Frederick Douglass

He who has a why to live for

can bear almost any how.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Discipline is choosing between what

you want now and what you want most.

Abraham Lincoln

There's so much pain in the world that we

are powerless over, but being party

to animal suffering is not one of them.

I often think of alcohol as a genie in a bottle.

It promises everything but eventually

imprisons you in the bottle itself.
