The Measure of Humanity

How we treat the vulnerable is
how we define ourselves as a species.

Russel Brand


The animals you eat are not those who devour
others; you do not eat the carnivorous beasts,
you take them as your pattern. You only
hunger for the sweet and gentle creatures
which harm no one, which follow you,
serve you, and are devoured by you
as the reward of their service.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau


Now I can look at you in peace;
I don't eat you anymore.

Franz Kafka


The true measure of any society can be found
in how it treats its most vulnerable members.

Mahatma Gandhi


We should be measured by how we treat
the most vulnerable and powerless
in our society.

Cory Booker


There are two ways through life:
the way of Nature and the way of Grace.
You have to decide which one you'll follow.

Terrence Malick


In the end, only three things matter:
how much you loved, how gently you
lived, and how gracefully you let go
of things not meant for you.

Buddha
