Animals in Entertainment

Man is the cruelest animal. At tragedies,
bullfights, and crucifixions he has
so far felt best on Earth; and
when he invented hell for himself,
behold, that was his very heaven.

Friedrich Nietzsche


Tradition will accustom people to any atrocity.
George Bernard Shaw


God loved the birds and invented trees.
Man loved the birds and invented cages.

Jacques Deval


It's clear to anyone with a brain and an ounce
of compassion that marine parks are nothing
more than concrete prisons.

Roger Moore


A good heart will refuse the happiness
built on the misfortune of others.

Saadie


If you want to know where you would have
stood on slavery before the Civil War,
don't look at where you stand on slavery today.
Look at where you stand on animal rights.

Paul Watson


What an amount of suffering and cruel
punishment the poor creatures have to
endure in order to give a few moments
of pleasure to men devoid of thought.

Albert Schweitzer


We cannot have peace among men whose hearts
delight in killing any living creature. By every
act that glorifies or even tolerates such
moronic delight, we set back
the progress of humanity.

Rachel Carson



Once we accept this view of animals - as our
resources - the rest is as predictable
as it is regrettable.

Tom Reagan




We know we cannot be kind to animals
until we stop exploiting them -
exploiting animals in the name of science,
exploiting animals in the name of sport,
exploiting animals in the name of fashion,
and yes, exploiting animals in the name of food.

César Chávez

Friends

True friends are families which you can select.
Audrey Hepburn


Right now you may not be where you intended
to be, but it's where you need to be in order
to get where you want to go.

Steven Aitchison


The most we can hope for is to create
the best possible conditions for success,
then let go of the outcome.
The ride is a lot more fun that way.

Phil Jackson


We are disturbed not by what happens to us,
but by our thoughts about what happens to us.

Epictetus


What you want is deliberately placed
out of reach so that you can become
the person it takes to obtain it.
 
Mastin Kipp


The same wall that keeps out your
disappointment also keeps out the sunlight
of enriching experiences. So let life touch you.

Jim Rohn



The longer you wait, the bigger the prize.
George Bernard Shaw


People grow when they are loved well.
If you want to help others heal,
love them without an agenda.

Mike McHargue




You may never know what results come
of your actions, but if you do nothing,
there will be no results.

Mahatma Gandhi


All rivers and some people are crooked
because they follow the path of least resistence.

Napoleon Hill



The only constant in life is change.
Heraclitus




Success is not final, failure is not fatal:
it is the courage to continue that counts.

Winston Churchill
