I am of the opinion that my life belongs to
the whole community and as long as I live,
it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.
George Bernard Shaw
Allegiance to an evil system means partaking
in the evil. A good person will resist an
evil system with his whole soul.
Mahatma Gandhi
The world will not be destroyed by those
who do evil, but by those who watch
them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein
There are many noteworthy examples of
ordinary evil in every culture and country
around the globe, but in terms of preventable
evil I am hard pressed to find any examples
that approach those systematically perpetrated
by humans against the members of other species.
Lawrence Pope
It is more important to prevent animal suffering,
rather than sit to contemplate the evils
of the universe.
Buddha
The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression
and cruelty by the bad people but
the silence over that by the good people.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If you are neutral in situations of injustice,
you have chosen the side of the oppressor.
Desmond Tutu
- Make a clear intention - how do I want to contribute to this world?
- Take a leap of faith. Don't let fear determine your actions.
- Personal branding & communication skills to reach as many as possible.
- Plant seeds. You never know what they will grow into.
- Use your strengths. Direct them towards your mission.
- Have a positive vibe. Nudge and be inclusive but always maintain a clear message.
Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do.
Voltaire
Think about what your skills are, and what you
enjoy doing, or what you're good at and
employ those specific skills to make
the world a better place.
Jo-Anne McArthur
Our lives no longer belong to us alone:
they belong to all those who
need us desperately.
Eli Wiesel
I have seen firsthand how injustice
gets overlooked when the victims are
powerless or vulnerable, when they have
no one to speak up for them and no means of
representing themselves to a higher authority.
Animals are in precisely that position.
Unless we speak out on their behalf,
abuse and cruelty goes unchallenged.
Desmond Tutu
Terror becomes total when it becomes
independent of all opposition; it rules
supreme when nobody any longer stands
in its way. If lawfulness is the essence of
non-tyrannical government and lawlessness
is the essence of tyranny, then terror is
the essence of totalitarian domination.
Hannah Arendt
The problem is that humans have
victimized animals to such a degree
that they are not even considered victims.
They are not considered at all.
Gary Yourofsky
People who say it cannot be done
should not interrupt those who are doing it.
George Bernard Shaw
Evil people always support each other;
that is their chief strength.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Those who love peace must learn to organize
as effectively as those who love war.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Just one candle can light another and can light
thousands of other candles, so one heart
illuminates another heart and can
illuminate thousands of other hearts.
Leo Tolstoy
Life is no brief candle to me.
It is a sort of splendid torch which
I have got a hold of for the moment and
I want to make it burn as brightly as possible
before handing it on to future generations.
George Bernard Shaw
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
