Don't talk of love and peace when
you have a dead animal on your plate.
Socrates
The good you want for others is also
the good that is meant for you.
Mastin Kipp

We should be measured by how we treat
the most vulnerable and powerless
in our society.
Cory Booker
You have just dined, and however scrupulously
the slaughterhouse is concealed in the graceful
distance of miles, there is complicity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The thinking person must oppose all
cruel customs, no matter how deeply rooted
in tradition and surrounded by a halo.
When we have a choice, we must avoid
bringing torment and injury
into the life of another.
Albert Schweitzer
A good heart will refuse the happiness
built on misfortune of others.
Saadie
What an amount of suffering and cruel
punishment the poor creatures have to
endure in order to give a few moments
of pleasure to men devoid of thought.
Albert Schweitzer
As long as man continues to be the ruthless
destroyer of other living beings he will never
know health or peace. For as long as men
massacre animals, they will kill each other.
Pythagoras
It takes nothing away from a human
to be kind to an animal.
Joaquin Phoenix
If people understood that for two minutes
of pleasure, there is a lifetime of suffering.
Khaled bin Alwaleed
Think occasionally of the suffering
of which you spare yourself the sight.
Jo Frederiks
Where there is love there is life.
Mahatma Gandhi
Thanksgiving dinner's sad and thankless
Christmas dinner's dark and blue
When you stop and try to see it
From the turkey's point of view
Sunday dinner isn't sunny
Easter feasts are just bad luck
When you see it from the view point
of a chicken or a duck
Oh how I once loved tuna salad
Pork and lobsters, lamb chops too
Till I stopped and looked at dinner
From the dinner's point of view
Shel Silverstein
People who say they love animals sit down to
enjoy the flesh of creatures who have been
utterly deprived of everything that could
make their lives worth living and who
endured the awful suffering and
the terror of the abattoirs.
Jane Goodall
As long as people will shed the blood
of innocent creatures there can be no peace,
no liberty, no harmony between people.
Slaughter and justice cannot dwell together.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Do your little bit of good where you are;
it's those little bits of good put together
that overwhelm the world.
Desmond Tutu
Create all the happiness you are able to create;
remove all the misery you are able to remove.
Every day will allow you, will invite you to
add something to the pleasure of others,
or to diminish something of their pains.
Jeremy Bentham
