All living beings have the spark of the divine
energy; therefore, to hurt another being
is to hurt oneself.
Non-violence is not a garment to be put on
and off at will. Its seat is in the heart,
and it must be an inseparable part
of our being.
Mahatma Gandhi
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress
can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
Mahatma Gandhi
To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less
precious than that of a human being.
Mahatma Gandhi
Selective compassion is a deformity of the mind.
Mohanji
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
I do feel that... we should cease to kill our fellow
creatures for the satisfaction of our bodily wants.
Mahatma Gandhi
Indulgence in animal killing for the taste
of the tongue is the grossest kind of ignorance.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
The highest form of knowledge is empathy,
for it requires us to suspend our egos
and live in another's world.
Plato
Animals cannot speak but, but can you and I
not speak for them and represent them?
Let us all feel their cry of agony and let us
all help that cry to be heard in the world.
Rukmini Devi Arundale
