Manifesting & Receiving

Believing involves thinking, talking and acting

as though you have already received.

Mastin Kipp

You become what you give your attention to.

Epictetus

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues,

but the parent of all others.

Cicero

What you think you become.

What you feel you attract.

What you imagine you create.

Buddha

1. Be inspired by others instead of being jealous.

2. Be grateful for what you have. Gratitude is second only to love.

3. Visualize what you want and that you already have it. Make it a practice.

4. Be a good person who deserves to get what you want. Be vegan.

Great minds have purposes;

others have wishes.

Washington Irving

If you hold an anti-war rally, I shall not attend.

But if you hold a Pro-Peace rally invite me.

The good you want for others is also

the good that's meant for you.

Mastin Kipp

He who is not contended with what he has,

would not be contended with what

he would like to have.

Socrates

Life is an echo.

What you send out, comes back.

What you sow, you reap.

What you give, you get.

What you see in others, exists in you.

Remember, life is an echo.

It always gets back to you.

So give goodness.

Zig Ziglar

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

The Latina

Black History

Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery,

I feel a strong impulse to see it tried

on him personally.

Abraham Lincoln

10 percent of any population is cruel, no matter

what, and 10 percent is merciful, no matter what,

and the remaining 80 percent can be moved

in any direction.

Susan Sontag

Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave.

Frederick Douglass

It's so clear that you have to cherish everyone.

I think that's what I get from these older black

women, that every soul is to be cherised,

that every flower is to bloom.

Alice Walker

Music is to the soul what words are to the mind.

Modest Mouse

Royal Icons

Kings are not born:

they are made by artificial hallucination.

Bernard Shaw

- Tokenism (performative activism)

- Colorism

- Anti-Black Racism

Tradition will accustom people to any atrocity.

Bernard Shaw

Only in the darkness can you see the stars.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Shame corrodes the very part of us

that believes we are capable of change.

Brené Brown

Shame cannot survive being spoken... What it

craves is secrecy, silence and judgement...

Only when we are brave enough to explore

the darkness will we discover the infinite

power of our light.

Brené Brown

Be on the Right Side of History

 Non-violence leads to the highest ethics,

which is the goal of all evolution.

Until we stop harming all other

living beings, we are still savages.

You Don't Have To Be A Genius

There can be no doubt as to which side is right

and which side is wrong, for compassionate

defense of life is a force of good and sadistic

mass destruction of life is a force for evil.

Paul Watson

The wrongfulness, the immorality of eating

animals has been recognized by all mankind

during all the conscious life of humanity.

Leo Tolstoy

Wrong does not cease to be wrong

because the majority share in it.

Leo Tolstoy

All truth passes through three stages.

First, it is ridiculed.

Second, it is violently opposed.

Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Abolish

Insanity in individuals is something rare -

but in groups, parties, nations and epochs,

it is the rule.

Friedrich Nietzsche

If you want to know where you would have

stood on slavery before the Civil War,

don't look at where you stand on slavery today.

Look at where you stand on animal rights.

Paul Watson

Jo Frederiks

'Never again' is not about what others shouldn't

do to us. It is about what we shouldn't do

to others. 'Never again' means that we must

never again perpetrate mass atrocities

against other living beings.

Alex Hershaft

Our grandchildren will ask us one day:

Where were you during the Holocaust

of the animals? What did you do against

those horrifying crimes? We won't be

able to offer the same excuse for

the second time, that we didn't know.

Helmut Kaplan

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

As long as there are slaughterhouses

there will be battlefields.

Leo Tolstoy

I'm in favor of animal rights as well as human

rights. That is the way of a whole human being.

Abraham Lincoln

Animals are the main victims of history, and

the treatment of domesticated animals

in industrial farms is perhaps

the worst crime in history.

Yuval Noah Harari

Man's inhumanity to man is only surpassed

by his cruelty to animals.

Bernard Shaw

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice

everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable

network of mutuality, tied in a single garment

of destiny. Whatever affects one directly,

affects all indirectly.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Every man is a creature of the age in which

he lives and few are able to raise themselves

above the ideas of the time.

Voltaire

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.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

The Measure of Man

The ultimate measure of a man is not

where he stands in moment of comfort

and convenience, but where he stands

at times of challenge and controversy.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

The measure of a man is 

what he does with power.

Plato

The human being cannot live in a condition

of emptiness for very long: if he is not growing

toward something, he does not merely stagnate;

the pent-up potentialities turn into morbidity

and despair, and eventually into

destructive activities.

Rollo May

No man is more unhappy than he who never

faces adversity. For he is not permitted

to prove himself.

Seneca

Only a man who knows what it is like to be

defeated can reach down to the bottom of

his soul and come up with the extra

ounce of power it takes to win

when the match is even.

Muhammad Ali

The obedient always thinks of themselves

as virtuous rather than cowardly.

George Carlin

The key to happiness doesn't lay in numbers in a

bank account but in the way we make others feel

and the way they make us feel.

Joe Rogan

Knowledge increases in proportion to its use.

Helena Blavatsky

Excellence in anything increases

your potential in everything.

Joe Rogan

You are in danger of living a life so comfortable

and soft, that you will die without ever

realizing your true potential.

David Goggins

Pursue what's in your heart, and

the universe will conspire to support you.

Rich Roll

We can judge the heart of a man

by his treatment of animals.

Immanuel Kant

We should be measured by how we treat

the most vulnerable and powerless

in our society.

Cory Booker

In compassion lies the world's true strength.

Gautama Buddha

My way of joking is to tell the truth.

It's the funniest joke in the world.

Bernard Shaw

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that

in the process he does not become a monster.

And if you gaze long enough into an abyss,

the abyss will gaze back into you.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Chaos was the law of nature;

order was the dream of man.

Henry Adams

Nature, in her indifference, makes no

distinction between good and evil.

Anatole France

When evil men plot, good men must plan.

When evil men burn and bomb,

good men must build and bind.

When evil men shout ugly words of hatred,

good men must commit themselves

to the glories of love.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Fearful men control, intelligent men analyze,

but wise men listen with intent to understand.

J. Mike Fields

When I despair, I remember that all through

history the way of truth and love have always

won. There have been tyrants and murderers,

and for a time, they can seem invincible,

but in the end they always fall. Always.

Mahatma Gandhi

Being an Introvert

To be a loner gives you time to wonder,

to search for the truth. Have holy curiosity.

Make your life worth living.

Albert Einstein
