Happy Lunar New Year 🐎

The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die.

As well the minds which are prevented

from changing their opinions;

they cease to be mind.

Friedrich Nietzsche

What Wrong with Riding Animals? 🐎

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

I sit on a man's back, choking him and making

him carry me, and yet assure myself and others

that I am very sorry for him and wish to ease

his lot by all possible means - except

by getting off his back.

Leo Tolstoy

He who is not a good servant

will not be a good master.

Plato

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
