what is given to her.

William Golding

🌻 What is Veganism? 🌱

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living

which seeks to exclude - as far as is possible

and practicable - all forms av exploitation of,

and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or

any other purpose; and by extension,

 promotes the development and use of

animal-free alternatives for the benefit

of animals, humans and the environment.

In dietary terms it denotes the practice

of dispensing with all products

derived wholly or partly from animals.

The Vegan Society

If we could live happy and healthy lives

without harming others, why wouldn't we?

Pam Ahern

A good heart will refuse the happiness

built on the misfortune of others.

Saadie

We know we cannot be kind to animals

until we stop exploiting them -

exploiting animals in the name of science,

exploiting animals in the name of sport,

exploiting animals in the name of fashion,

and yes, exploiting animals in the name of food.

César Chávez

Widely recognized as the foundational text

within the animal liberation movement,

Peter Singer's Animal Liberation opened

my eyes to the radical philosophy that all

animals are worthy of equal consideration.

Joaquin Phoenix

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

We cut the throat of a calf and hang him up

by the heels to bleed to death so that our veal

cutlet may be white; we nail geese to a board

and cram them with food because we like

the taste of liver disease; we tear birds to pieces

to decorate our women's hats; we mutilate

domestic animals for no reason at all except

to follow an instinctively cruel fashion;

and we connive at the most abominable

tortures in the hope of discovering some

magical cure for our own diseases by them.

George Bernard Shaw

The time will come when humanity will extend

its mantle over everyone who breathes.

Jeremy Bentham

We don't want to focus on the trees

at the expense of the forest.

Douglas R. Hofstadter

Veganism serves as the criterion by which

we know that the pursuit of moral progress

on the part of humanity is genuine and sincere.

Veganism is the acid test of humanitarianism.

Leo Tolstoy

Every effort should be made to stop

the wanton, cruel slaughter of animals,

which must be destructive to our morals.

Nikola Tesla

Shame on such a morality that is worthy of

pariahs; and that fails to recognize the eternal

essence that exists in every living being,

and shines forth with inscrutable significance

from all eyes that see the sun!

Arthur Schopenhauer

If you don't want to be beaten, imprisoned,

mutilated, killed or tortured, then you

shouldn't condone such behavior towards

anyone, be they human or not.

Moby

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

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

Animals have a right to live, and whilst that

sounds very simple, our culture has denied

them that right in so many ways. In the same

way as I think that humans deserve the chance

for a good life, I extend that to animals.

Sir Paul McCartney

I don't care whether they are capable of

thinking; all I care about is that they

are capable of suffering!

Jeremy Bentham

where we stand as in what direction

we are moving.

The Art of Conversation

Nature has given us two ears, two eyes

and but one tongue to the end that we should

hear and see more than we speak.

Socrates

Every word has consequences.

Every silence, too.

Jean-Paul Sartre

The more you discipline yourself,

the less you will be disciplined by others.

Napoleon Hill

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

Change happens by listening and then

starting a dialogue with the people who are

doing something you don't believe is right.

Jane Goodall

Love your enemies, for they tell you you faults.

Benjamin Franklin

One of the most sincere forms of respect is

actually listening to what another has to say.

Bryant H. McGill

People are taught how to speak,

but their major concern

should be how to keep silent.

Leo Tolstoy

1. Your plans. Move in silence.

2. Your finances.

3. Your love life.

4. Someone else's confidential information (malicious gossip).

5. Your drama.

6. Your controversial views (religion, politics, social taboos).

7. Your good deeds.

Three can keep a secret,

if two of them are dead.

Benjamin Franklin

It is better to be king of your silence

than a slave of your words.

William Shakespeare

A fool is known by his speech;

and a wise man by silence.

Wise men speak because they have something

to say; fools because they have to say something.

Plato

Strong minds discuss ideas,

average minds discuss events,

weak minds discuss people.

Socrates

If you propose to speak always ask yourself,

is it true, is it necessary, is it kind.

Buddha

He who speaks, sows. He who listens, collect.

Pythagoras

Think before you speak, read before you think.

Fran Lebowitz

Speak only if it improves upon the silence.

Mahatma Gandhi

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are

cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

Bertrand Russell

Opinion is really the lowest form of human

knowledge. It requires no accountability, no

understanding. The highest form of knowledge

is empathy, for it requires us to suspend

our egos and live in another's world.

Bill Bullard

1. Jokes about something that is true and sensitive.

2. Jokes with your opinions that are not positive.

3. Sarcasm that goes too far (if the person does not understand that you're being sarcastic). 

4. Jokes about stereotypes (racial/stereotypes/sexist/groups of people).

5. Vulgar jokes (sexist/sex/toilet humor/swearing).

6. Self-deprecating humor.

7. A badly told joke (storytelling - how the build-up process works. Work with pauses).

Nothing shows a man's character

more than what he laughs at.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

You can tell more about a person by what

he says about others than you can by

what others say about him.

Audrey Hepburn

If you think your belief is based upon reason,

you will support it by argument rather than

by persecution, and will abandon it if

the argument goes against you.

But if your belief is based upon faith,

you will realize that argument is useless,

and will therefore resort to force.

Bertrand Russell

Words are the clothes thoughts wear.

Samuel Becket

Listen with the intent to understand,

not the intent to reply.

Stephen Covey

There is an almost universal tendency, to suspect

the good faith of a man who holds opinions

that differ from our own opinions. It obviously

endangers the freedom and objectivity of our

discussion if we attack a person instead of

attacking an opinion, or more precisely, a theory.

Karl Popper

I don't want easy. Easy doesn't make you grow.

Easy doesn't make you think.

Madonna

Intelligence is measured by a person's

ability to see validity within both sides

of contradicting arguments.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Darkness cannot drive out darkness;

only light can do that.

Hate cannot drive out hate,

only love can do that.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

The greatest thing in the world is not so much

where we stand as in what direction

we are moving.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

People will forget what you said,

people will forget what you did, but

people will never forget how you made dem feel.

Maya Angelou

In order for the truth to be heard, it must

be spoken with love. No matter how wise

and true a spoken word will not be conveyed

to someone if it's spoken in anger.

Leo Tolstoy

Write Your Own Story 🪷

The most important relationship we can all have

is the one you have with yourself, the most

important journey you can take is one of

self-discovery. To know yourself, you must

spend time with yourself, you must not

be afraid to be alone. Knowing yourself

is the beginning of all wisdom.

Aristotle

It's not the events of our lives that shape us,

but our beliefs as to what those events mean.

Tony Robbins

Humans think in stories, and we try to

make sense of the world by telling stories.

Yuval Noah Harari

The stories we tell literally make the world.

If you want to change the world,

you need to change your story.

Michael Margolis

The mind and the body imprint each other.

What we think, we become.

What we become, we think.

Edgar Cayce

A season of loneliness and isolation

is when the caterpillar gets its wings.

Mandy Hale

It is a gift to not fit in. It sets you on a journey

of finding a sanctuary within yourself.

Brianna Wiest

Modern man lives under the illusion that he

knows what he wants, while he actually wants

what he is supposed to want. In order to accept

this it is necessary to realize that to know

 what one really wants is not comparatively

easy, as most people think, but one of the most

 difficult problems any being has to solve.

It is a task we frantically try to avoid

by accepting ready-made goals as though

they were our own.

Erich Fromm

We pursue external goals

to hit an internal emotional target.

Mastin Kipp

One of the greatest tragedies in life is to lose

your own sense of self and accept the version

of you that is expected by everyone else.

K.L. Toth

The person who follows the crowd will usually go

no further than the crowd. The person who

walks alone is likely to find himself in places

no one has ever seen before.

Albert Einstein

I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single

intelligent man to the thoughtless approval

of the masses.

Johannes Kepler

1. Write down and practice your values.

2. Build a practice of contemplation.

3. Read. Expose yourself to people who had deeper thoughts than you.

- Leave room for the unexpected.

- Find your unique way to contribute to someone's life.

- Set interesting goals and challenge yourself. Never stop learning.

- Slow down to appreciate what you already have.

- Fill your free time with meaningful hobbies.

Do not spoil what you have

by desiring what you have not;

remember that what you now have

was once among the things you only hoped for.

Epicurus

We live in a world where funerals are more

important than the deceased, marriage is more

important than love, looks are more important

than the soul. We live in a packaging

culture that despise content.

Sir Anthony Hopkins

Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead

where there is no path and leave a trail.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I don't know what your destiny will be,

but one thing I know: the only ones among you

who will be really happy are those

who sought and found how to serve.

Albert Schweitzer

Du ska tacka dina gudar,

om de tvingar dig att gå

där du inga fotspår

har att lita på.

Du ska tacka dina gudar,

om de gör all skam till din.

Du får söka tillflykt

lite längre in.

Det som hela världen dömer

reder sig ibland rätt väl.

Fågelfri var mången,

vann sin egen själ.

Den som tvingas ut i vildskog

ser med nyfödd syn på allt,

och han smakar tacksam

livets bröd och salt.

Du ska tacka dina gudar,

när de bryter bort ditt skal.

Verklighet och kärna

blir ditt enda val.

Karin Boye

Saint Augustine

The soul is the same in all living creatures,

although the body of each is different.

Hippocrates

I believe that the reason of life

is for each of us simply to grow in love.

Leo Tolstoy

Just how destructive does a culinary preference

have to be before we decide to eat something else?

If contributing to the suffering of billions of

animals that live miserable lives and, quite often,

die in horrific ways isn't motivating,

what would be?

Jonathan Safran Foer

Being healthy doesn't need to be expensive,

and with plant-based alternatives you can have

the same taste and texture as real chicken,

without the harmful effects to our body,

the environment and chickens.

Cameron Newton

Why are you so afraid of change? Nothing

in this world can be without change. Only

one rule is constant: do not do anything

inhumane to others.

Every time you spend money, you're casting

a vote for the kind of world you want.

and despair, with a love so vast and

shattered it will reach you everywhere.
