Be Kind to All Kinds

Kindness is the golden chain

by which our world is bond together.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

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

our circle of compassion to embrace all living

creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.

Albert Einstein

The love for all living creatures

is the most noble attribute of man.

Charles Darwin

Sympathy beyond the confines of man, that is,

humanity to animals, seems to be one of

the latest moral acquisitions.

Charles Darwin

Until one has loved an animal a part

of one's soul remains unawakened.

Anatole France

If having a soul means being able to feel love

and loyalty and gratitude, then a lot of

animals are better off than a lot of humans.

James Herriot

Happiness is in your ability to love others.

Leo Tolstoy

Only morality in our actions can

give beauty and dignity in life.

Albert Einstein

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others.

And if you can't help them, at least

don't hurt them.

Dalai Lama

Besides love and sympathy, animals exhibit

other qualities connected with the social

instincts which in us would be called moral.

Charles Darwin

In every living being there is the desire for love.

D.H. Lawrence

The smallest act of kindness is worth more

than the greatest intention.

Khalil Gibran

Although I can't stop all cruelty to living

creatures on the planet, I can be kinder

to every living creature in my life.

Make a habit of two things -

to help, or at least, to do no harm.

Whenever you are creating beauty around you,

you are restoring your own soul.

Alice Walker

The greater your capacity for love,

the more beauty you find in the world.

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.

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

William Shakespeare

I hope life treats you as well as you treat animals.

Ricky Gervais

If I can stop one heart from breaking,

I shall not live in vain,

If I can ease one life the aching,

Or cool one pain,

Or help one fainting robin

Unto his nest again,

I shall not live in vain.

Emily Dickinson

The soul is the same in all living creatures,

although the body of each is different.

🍴 All Life is Connected 🌍

We're at war with nature.

If we win, we're lost.

Hubert Reeves

Eating animals has brought us to our knees

as a species. I think it's time to re-examine

our world in a way that doesn't abuse

other species.

Brian May

The concept of factory farming is one 

of our biggest failures as a species.

Khaled bin Alwaleed

Jo Frederiks

The fate of animals is more important to me

than the fear of appearing ridiculous; it is

indissolubly connected with the fate of men.

Émile Zola

Our fate is inextricably linked to the health and

resilience of the Earth and our fellow earthlings,

and when these are harmed and made to suffer,

so are we.

Gene Baur

The New Swiss Army Knife of the Future

In our hands now lies not only our own future,

but that of all other living creatures

with whom we share the Earth.

David Attenborough

The whole creation groans under the weight

of the evil we humans visit upon these

powerless creatures.

Tom Regan

We are the collateral damage of carnism;

we pay for it with our health,

our environment and our taxes.

Melanie Joy

Reality cannot be ignored except at a price;

and the longer the ignorance is persisted in,

the higher and more terrible becomes

the price that must be paid.

Aldous Huxley

Nothing will benefit human health and

increase the chances for survival of life on Earth

as much as the evolution to a vegan diet.

If the whole world adopts veganism,

it can change the destiny of humankind.

Albert Einstein

We are, quite literally, gambling with the future

of our planet - for the sake of hamburgers.

Peter Singer

Veganism is the 'single biggest way' to reduce

your environmental impact on the planet.

Joseph Poore

The Elephant in the Room

Man can no longer live for himself alone.

We must realize that all life is valuable

and that we are united to all life.

a vote for the kind of world you want.

Anna Lappé

Palm Oil and Pollution

Do your little bit of good where you are;

it's those little bits of good put together

that overwhelm the world.

Desmond Tutu

We are all victims of the violence that animals

suffer... their liberation is also our liberation.

George Bernard Shaw

Jo Frederiks

Ironically, people will do anything to protect

their children, except protect the planet.

Khaled Bin Alwaleed

We are made wise not by the recollection

of our past, but by the responsibility

for our future.

George Bernard Shaw

Jo Frederiks

I think that the Earth's immune system is trying

to get rid of us, as well it should.

Kurt Vonnegut

The destiny of animals cannot be separated

from the destiny of man, and the destiny

of man cannot be separated from

the destiny of all of nature.

Gregory Colbert

What will save us is not technology or science.

What will save us is the ethical

transformation of our society.

Carmelite Father Eduardo Agosta Scarel

How we treat animals is powerfully connected

to our relationship with the world itself.

Nathalie Portman

In the Belly of the Beast

While we ourselves are the living graves

of murdered animals, how can we expect

any ideal living conditions on this Earth?

George Bernard Shaw

Right to Rescue

Never, never be afraid to do what's right,

especially if the well-being of a person

or animal is at stake. Society's punishments

are small compared to the wounds we inflict

on our soul when we look the other way.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Jo Frederiks

Atrocities are not less atrocities when they occur

in laboratories and are called medical research.

George Bernard Shaw

I abhor vivisection with my whole soul. All

the scientific discoveries stained with innocent

blood I count as of no consequence.

Mahatma Gandhi

What I think about vivisection is that if people

admit that they have the right to take the life

of living beings for the benefit of many,

there will be no limit to their cruelty.

Leo Tolstoy

Run to the rescue with love and peace will follow.

River Phoenix

Vivisection is a social evil because if it

advances human knowledge, it does so

at the expense of human character.

George Bernard Shaw

Whether we exploit animals to eat, wear, to

entertain us, or to learn, the truth of animal

rights requires empty cages, not larger cages.

Tom Regan

Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.

Adam Smith

One has a moral responsibility

to disobey unjust laws.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

An unjust law is itself a species of violence.

Arrest for its breach is more so.

Mahatma Gandhi

The day may come when the rest of the animal

creation acquire those rights which never

could have been withholden from them

but by the hand of tyranny.

Jeremy Bentham

The problem is that humans have

victimized animals to such a degree

that they are not even considered victims.

They are not considered at all.

Gary Yourofsky

The assumption that animals are without

rights and the illusion that our treatment

of them has no moral significance is a

positively outrageous example of human

crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion

is the only guarantee of morality.

Arthur Schopenhauer

If possessing a higher degree of intelligence

does not entitle one human to use another

for his or her own ends, how can it entitle

humans to exploit non-humans?

Peter Singer

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;

the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt

the world to himself. Therefore all progress

depends on the unreasonable man.

George Bernard Shaw

I have seen firsthand how injustice

gets overlooked when the victims are

powerless or vulnerable, when they have

no one to speak up for them and no means of

representing themselves to a higher authority.

Animals are in precisely that position.

Unless we speak out on their behalf,

abuse and cruelty goes unchallenged.

Desmond Tutu

A basic fact about nonviolent resistence is

that it is based on the conviction that

the universe is on the side of justice.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

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 arc of the moral universe is long,

but it bends towards justice.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

To know even one life has breathed easier

because you have lived. This is

to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

We are all victims of the violence that animals

suffer... their liberation is also our liberation.

George Bernard Shaw

Why should the law refuse its protection to any

sensitive being? The time will come when

humanity will extend its mantle

over everyone who breathes.

Jeremy Bentham

There is no fundamental difference between man

and animals in their ability to feel pleasure

and pain, happiness and misery.

Charles Darwin

Everything you need is at your fingertips.

Mastin Kipp

The measure of a man is 

what he does with power.

Plato

Human greatness does not lie in wealth

or power but in character and goodness.

Anne Frank

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.

A life without self-reflection and exploration

is not one worth living.

Socrates

One doesn't discover new lands without

consenting to lose sight, for a very

long time, of the shore.

André Gide

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

Making the simple complicated is commonplace;

making the complicated simple, awesomely

simple, that's creativity.

We can judge the heart of a man

by his treatment of animals.

Man is an animal with primary instincts

of survival. Consequently his ingenuity

has developed first and his soul afterwards.

The progress of science is far ahead

of man's ethical behavior.

Charlie Chaplin

We should be measured by how we treat

the most vulnerable and powerless

in our society.

Cory Booker

Compassion for animals is intimately associated

to animals cannot be a good man.

Man's highest duty is to protect

animals from cruelty.

 

Émile Zola

The opposite of courage is not cowardice,
