Earth was created for all of us, not some of us.
Anthony Douglas Williams
"Thou shall not kill" does not apply to murder
of one's own kind only, but to all living beings;
and this commandment was inscribed in
the human heart long before it was
proclaimed from Sinai.
Leo Tolstoy
The basis of all animal rights should be
the Golden Rule: we should treat them as we
would wish them to treat us, were any
other species in our dominant position.
Christine Stevens
We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation,
and have treated our distant cousins in fur
and feathers so badly that beyond doubt,
if they were able to formulate a religion,
they would depict the devil in human form.
William Ralph Inge
The Gods created certain kinds of beings
to replenish our bodies; they are the trees
and the plants and the seeds.
Plato
Why should man expect his prayer for mercy
to be heard by what is above him when he
shows no mercy to those under his power?
Pierre Troubetzkoy
Where love is, there God is also.
Mahatma Gandhi
I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians.
Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
Mahatma Gandhi
Man worships an invisible God
and destroys a visible Nature.
Unaware that this Nature he's destroying
is this God he's worshiping.
Hubert Reeves
Those who are merciful will be shown mercy
by the Most Merciful. Be merciful to those
on the earth and the One in the heavens
will have mercy on you.
Prophet Muhammad
My religion is based on truth and non-violence.
Truth is my God. Non-violence is
the means of realising him.
Mahatma Gandhi
It ill becomes us to invoke in our daily prayers
the blessing of God, the Compassionate,
if we in turn will not practice elemantary
compassion toward our fellow creatures.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is no religion without love, and people may
talk as much as they like about their religion,
but if it does not teach them to be kind
to man and animals, it is all a sham.
Anna Sewell
Be kind to all creatures.
This is the true religion.
Buddha
No God would be a slave master,
a torturer and a killer of his animals, his babies.
If he was, then he would not be God.
He would be the Devil.
