Courage is the most important of all the virtues,

because without courage you can't practice

any other virtue consistently.

Maya Angelou

It is in the nature of a group and its power

to turn against independence,

the property of individual strength.

Hannah Arendt

True peace is not merely the absence of tension;

it is the presence of justice.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

When people meet vegans, they become aware

in that moment that they eat animals.

They become uncomfortable and place

the feeling on the vegan. Their own sense

of mercy and compassion arises and

makes them uneasy. Mercy asks of you

to abstain from this cruelty.

Gary Smith

It is vital that we be mindful of our language

choices as activists, lest we end up advocating

the very things we are fighting against.

Emily Moran Barwick

If you don't stick to your values when

they're being tested, they're not values:

they're hobbies.

Jon Stewart

To be yourself in a world that is constantly

trying to make you something else is

the greatest accomplishment.

Ralp Waldo Emerson

The individual has always had to struggle

to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.

If you try it, you will be lonely often,

and sometimes frightened. But no price

is too high to pay for the privilege

of owning yourself.

their turn: life is nothing but a competition

to be the criminal rather than the victim.

Bertrand Russell

I object to violence because when it appears

to do good, the good is only temporary;

the evil it does is permanent.

Mahatma Gandhi

Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.

Adam Smith

Justice is essential, but the pursuit of

absolute justice can lead you to

perpetuate conflict indefinitely.

Yuval Noah Harari

A gem cannot be polished without friction,

nor a man perfected without trials.

Seneca

The world hates a Jew who hits back. The world

If we have to have a choice between being dead

and pitied, and being alive with a bad image,

we'd rather be alive and have the bad image.

Golda Meir

If the Arabs put down their guns there would be

no more fighting. If the Israelis put down theirs

Earth was created for all of us, not some of us.

Anthony Douglas Williams

"Thou shall not kill" does not apply to murder

of one's own kind only, but to all living beings;

and this commandment was inscribed in

the human heart long before it was

proclaimed from Sinai.

Leo Tolstoy

The basis of all animal rights should be

the Golden Rule: we should treat them as we

would wish them to treat us, were any

other species in our dominant position.

Christine Stevens

We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation,

and have treated our distant cousins in fur

and feathers so badly that beyond doubt,

if they were able to formulate a religion,

they would depict the devil in human form.

The Gods created certain kinds of beings

to replenish our bodies; they are the trees

This is the true religion.

we treat animals and the way we treat people

who are at the bottom of the hierarchy.

All the arguments to prove man's superiority

cannot shatter this hard fact: in suffering

the animals are our equals.

The destiny of animals cannot be separated

from the destiny of man, and the destiny

that help build a bridge across the artifical

boundaries we have established between

ourselves and other species.

Gregory Colbert

Our task must be to free ourselves... by widening

our circle of compassion to embrace all living

human and animal suffering and leaving

a habitable planet to future generations.

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.

We are haunted by the horror of what we do

to animals, but we are equally haunted by

the knowledge of how unhaunted others are.

A man is ethical only when he obeys

the compulsion to help all life which

he is able to assist, and shrinks from

injuring anyone who lives.

are capable of doing would suffice to solve

most of the world's problems.

Mahatma Gandhi

Do your little bit of good where you are;

it's those little bits of good put together

that overwhelm the world.

Desmond Tutu

May our broken hearts fuel us to fix our world.

Be Love 💞
