Be Kind to All Kinds

Kindness is the golden chain

by which our world is bond together.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

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 love for all living creatures

is the most noble attribute of man.

Charles Darwin

Until one has loved an animal a part

of one's soul remains unawakened.

Anatole France

If having a soul means being able to feel love

and loyalty and gratitude, then a lot of

animals are better off than a lot of humans.

Happiness is in your ability to love others.

Leo Tolstoy

Only morality in our actions can

give beauty and dignity in life.

And if you can't help them, at least

don't hurt them.

other qualities connected with the social

Sympathy beyond the confines of man, that is,

humanity to animals, seems to be one of

the latest moral acquisitions.

Charles Darwin

In every living being there is the desire for love.

D.H. Lawrence

The smallest act of kindness is worth more

than the greatest intention.

Khalil Gibran

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

Make a habit of two things -

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.

Hippocrates

Everything that you love, you will eventually

lose, but in the end, love will return

in a different form.

Love is the beauty of the soul.

Be kind to all creatures.

This is the true religion.

I have no doubt that it is a part of the human

race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off

eating animals, as surely as the the savage

tribes have left off eating each other.

Henry David Thoreau

Non-violence leads to the highest ethics,

which is the goal of all evolution.

Until we stop harming all other

You Don't Have To Be A Genius

There can be no doubt as to which side is right

and which side is wrong, for compassionate

defense of life is a force of good and sadistic

mass destruction of life is a force for evil.

Paul Watson

The wrongfulness, the immorality of eating

animals has been recognized by all mankind

during all the conscious life of humanity.

Leo Tolstoy

Wrong does not cease to be wrong

because the majority share in it.

Leo Tolstoy

Now that we have learned to fly in the air

like birds and dive in the sea like fish,

only one thing remains - to learn

to live on earth as human beings.

George Bernard Shaw

All truth passes through three stages.

First, it is ridiculed.

Second, it is violently opposed.

Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Abolish

Insanity in individuals is something rare -

but in groups, parties, nations and epochs,

it is the rule.

Friedrich Nietzsche

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

Jo Frederiks

'Never again' is not about what others shouldn't

do to us. It is about what we shouldn't do

to others. 'Never again' means that we must

never again perpetrate mass atrocities

against other living beings.

Alex Hershaft

Our grandchildren will ask us one day:

Where were you during the Holocaust

of the animals? What did you do against

those horrifying crimes? We won't be

able to offer the same excuse for

the second time, that we didn't know.

Helmut Kaplan

Albert Schweitzer

As long as man continues to be the ruthless

destroyer of other living beings he will never

know health or peace. For as long as men

massacre animals, they will kill each other.

Pythagoras

As long as people will shed the blood of innocent

creatures there can be no peace, no liberty,

no harmony between people. Slaughter

and justice cannot dwell together.

Isaac Bashevis Singer

As long as there are slaughterhouses

there will be battlefields.

Leo Tolstoy

I'm in favor of animal rights as well as human

rights. That is the way of a whole human being.

Abraham Lincoln

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

Man's inhumanity to man is only

surpassed by his cruelty to animals.

George Bernard Shaw

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice

everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable

network of mutuality, tied in a single garment

of destiny. Whatever affects one directly,

affects all indirectly.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Every man is a creature of the age in which

he lives and few are able to raise themselves

above the ideas of the time.

Voltaire

The systematic torture of sentient beings,

whatever the pretext and in whatever form,

cannot achieve anything more than it

already has: to show us what is the lowest

point of debasement man can reach.

Joaquin Phoenix

One day the absurdity of the almost universal

human belief in the slavery of other animals

will be palpable. We shall then have

discovered our souls and become

worthier of sharing this planet with them.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
