The greatness of a nation and its moral progress
can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have from an early age abjured the use of meat,
and the time will come when men such as I
will look upon the murder of animals
as they now look upon the murder of men.
Leonardo da Vinci
Animals have the purity humans have lost.
Brigitte Bardot
Jesus answered... For I tell you truly,
he who kills, kills himself, and whoso
eats the flesh of slain beasts
eats the body of death.

The greatness of humanity is not in being human,
but in being humane.
Mahatma Gandhi
While vegans and meat-eaters disagree,
we can all be united in our fear and hatred
for the horror that is factory farming.
Joel Salatin
Non-violence leads to the highest ethics,
which is the goal of all evolution.

Freethinkers are those who are willing to use
their minds without prejudice and without
fearing to understand things that clash with
their own customs, privileges, or beliefs.
This state of mind is not common,
but it is essential for right thinking.
Leo Tolstoy
Change is the only constant in life.
Ones ability to adapt to those changes
will determine your success in life.
Benjamin Franklin
The secret of change is to focus all of your
energy, not on fighting the old,
but on building the new.
Socrates
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.

Educate the children and it won't
be necessary to punish the men.

The arc of the moral universe is long,
but it bends towards justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The true measure of any society can be found
in how it treats its most vulnerable members.
Mahatma Gandhi
You never change things by fighting
the existing reality. To change something,
build a new model that makes
the existing model obsolete.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The measure of intelligence
is the ability to change.
Albert Einstein
Why are you so afraid of change? Nothing
in this world can be without change. Only
one rule is constant: do not do anything
inhumane to others.
Marcus Aurelius
It is not an act of kindness to treat animals
respectfully. It is an act of justice.
Tom Regan
The day may come when the rest of the animal
creation may acquire those rights which never
could have been witholden from them
but by the hand of tyranny.
Jeremy Bentham
Just as we have tried to end racism, sexism and
ageism, we can also try to end speciesism.
A vegan lifestyle is the ultimate protest
against animal exploitation.
Benjamin Zephaniah
The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge
but imagination.
Albert Einstein
You see things; and you say 'Why'?
But I dream things that never were,
and I say 'Why not?'
George Bernard Shaw
