The task is not, so much to see what no one
has seen yet; but to think what nobody has
thought yet, about that which everybody sees.
Arthur Schopenhauer
If you have men who will exclude any of God's
creatures from the shelter of compassion,
you will have men who will deal
likewise with their fellow men.
St. Francis of Assisi
Speciesism is like racism, sexism and
homophobia: it involves using a morally
irrelevant criterion to block membership
in the moral community.
Gary L. Francione
It is not an act of kindness to treat animals
respectfully. It is an act of justice.
Tom Regan
My own view is that being vegan is not an end
in itself, but a means towards reducing both
human and animal suffering and leaving a
habitable planet to future generations.
Peter Singer
Injustice anywhere is a threat
to justice everywhere.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Freedom, human rights, tolerance, peace
and prosperity are like the eternal flame
that must be guarded, nurtured and never,
ever taken for granted.
Konstantin Kisin
Love your enemies, for they tell you your faults.
Benjamin Franklin
I'm not entitled to have an opinion unless
I can state the arguments against my position
better than the people who are in opposition.
I am qualified to speak only when
I've reached that state.
Charlie Munger
When you see a good man, try to emulate
his example, and when you see a bad man,
search yourself for his faults.
Confucius
People who say things like "I can't worry
about animals when there are humans
who need help" tend to do f*ck all
to help humans neither...
Kindness is kindness. Simple as that.
Ricky Gervais
A ruler who hides behind paid executioners
soon forgets what death is.
George R.R. Martin
The price good men pay for indifference to
public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
Plato
There is only one thing worse than fighting with
your allies, and that is fighting without them.
Winston Churchill
