Attraction over Promotion 🏵️

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Mahatma Gandhi

We change the world not by what we say or do

but as a consequence of what we have become.

David R. Hawkins

By choosing ourselves, we are creating

an image of what human beings should be.

Jean Paul Sartre

The world is changed by your example,

not by your opinion.

Paulo Coelho

People almost invariably arrive at their beliefs

not on the basis of proof but on the basis of

what they find attractive.

Blaise Pascal

It is the best decision I've ever made

and I've enjoyed it so much more

than I could have ever expected.

It feels good to do the right thing.

Lucy Watson

It's the best decision I have ever made.

For my health and for the world and

for the sake of decency and compassion.

Paul Wesley

Let your life be your argument.

Albert Schweitzer

Every person I have met who has gone vegan

says it is the best decision they have ever made.

Lewis Hamilton

Being vegan is the right thing for yourself

and for the planet and animals.

Lenny Kravitz

Becoming vegan was the biggest change I ever 

made in my life, and one of the greatest

accomplishments as well.

Woody Harrelson

I am not going to teach it unless I live it.

John C. Maxwell

Respect life and life will respect you.

Love life and love will shower blessings on you.

Rajneesh

My goal is to bring people together through

good food without harming animals.

Omari McQueen

Food is our common ground,

a universal experience.

James Beard

If we begin with ourselves and do the things that

we need to do and become the best person

we can be, we have a much better chance

of changing the world for the better.

Aleksandr Solzjenitsyn

My life is my message.

Mahatma Gandhi

Being vegan helped me realize I can say and do

what I believe is right. That's powerful.

Alicia Silverstone

I am an artist at living -

my work of art is my life.

D.T. Suzuki

My Personal Choice

It is our choice of good or evil

that determines our character,

not our opinion about good or evil.

Aristotle

What do your choices say about you?

In matters of conscience,

the law of the majority has no place.

Mahatma Gandhi

A great number of our decisions are not

really our own but are suggested to us from

the outside; we have succeeded in persuading

ourselves that it is we who made the decision,

whereas we have actually conformed with

expectations of others, driven by the fear

of isolation and by threats to our comfort.

Erich Fromm

The content of your character is your choice.

Day by day, what you choose, what you think

and what you do is who you become.

Heraclitus

Jo Frederiks

It is not what we think or feel that makes us

who we are. It's what we do. Or fail to do.

Jane Austen

The thinking person must oppose all cruel

customs, no matter how deeply rooted

in tradition and surrounded by a halo.

When we have a choice, we must

avoid bringing torment and injury

into the life of another.

Albert Schweitzer

What you do makes a difference,

and you have to decide what kind

of difference you want to make.

Jane Goodall

We all have choices to make. I choose to love,

to be conscious of what I'm supporting

and I refuse to support the companies

killing and torturing animals.

Lewis Hamilton

It's not your personal choice

when there are victims involved.

Asking vegans to respect your choice

to eat animals is on par with asking feminists

to respect sexists, asking people of color

to respect racists and asking homosexuals

to respect homophobes. It is ludicrous to think

that difference in opinion warrants mutual

respect, when the opposing opinion

in question appropriates suffering,

defends oppression and encourages

the continuance of exploitation.

Felix Sampson

Human beings are not machines,

and however powerful the pressure to conform,

they sometimes are so moved by what

they see as injustice that they dare

to declare their independence.

In that historical possibility lies hope.

Howard Zinn

What we think, or what we know, or what we

believe is, in the end, of little consequence.

The only consequence is what we do.

John Ruskin

The line separating good and evil passes

not through states, nor between political

parties either - but right through

every human heart.

Alexandr Solzhenitsyn

If your choices are beautiful,

so too will you be.

Epictetus

Vegans in Media

Many people, especially ignorant people,

want to punish you for speaking the truth,

for being correct, for being you.

Never apologize for being correct,

or for being years ahead of your time.

If you're right and you know it,

speak your mind.

Even if you are a minority of one,

the truth is still the truth.

Mahatma Gandhi

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.

The further a society drifts from the truth,

the more it will hate those who speak it.

George Orwell

The truth is that people are brainwashed into

thinking that it's normal to consume animals.

They are so uncomfortable with confronting

what happens to those animals because

they are part and parcel of that cruelty.

Juliet Gellatley

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

Animal rights is a part of my everyday life.

When you live by example, you create a

certain level of awareness. People I have

never discussed veganism with are adopting

new habits because they see it.

Joaquin Phoenix

You meet saints everywhere.

They are people behaving decently

in an indecent society.

Kurt Vonnegut

I cannot teach anybody anything.

I can only make them think.

Socrates

The thing that's annoying about there suddenly

being a lot of vegans is the nagging suspicion

that they might be right.

David Mitchell

You should not honor men more than truth.

Plato

We are not living in a private world of our own.

Everything we say and do and think

has its effect on everything around us.

John Galsworthy

You either approve of violence or you don't,

and nothing on Earth is more violent

or extreme than the meat industry.

Morrissey

First, they ignore you, then they laugh at you,

then they fight you, then you win.

Mahatma Gandhi

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

The treatment of animals by the food industry

is so excessively heartless, and such an affront

to natural justice, that we who by our silence

tacitly consent to these outrages deserve to

be shocked out of our sleep. In the long run,

Mr. Yourofsky may well be doing us

a moral service by confronting us, by

the spectacle of the crimes we participate in.

John Maxwell Coetzee

If it's not good enough for your eyes,

why is it good enough for your stomach?

Gary Yourofsky

The truth will set you free.

But first, it will piss you off.

Gloria Steinem

How CD Controls Your Life

No man is capable of causing great evil

without thinking he's doing the right thing.

Socrates

Jo Frederiks

The indifference, callousness and contempt

that so many people exhibit toward animals

is evil first because it results in great suffering

in animals, and second because it results in

an incalculably great impoverishment

of the human spirit.

Albert Einstein

Evil comes from a failure to think.

It defies thought for as soon as thought

tries to engage itself with evil and examine

the premises and principles from which it

originates, it is frustrated because

it finds nothing there.

That is the banality of evil.

Hannah Arendt

People seldom do what they believe in.

They do what is convenient.

Bob Dylan

It's troubling when people get upset with vegans

for pointing out the suffering, rather than

getting upset with themselves for causing it.

Jo Tyler

Everything that irritates us about others

can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

Carl Jung

Those who lack the courage will always

find a philosophy to justify it.

Albert Camus

Psychologically speaking, one may say that

the hypocrite is too ambitious; not only does

he want to appear virtuous before others,

he wants to convince himself... Only

the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.

Hannah Arendt

I cannot conceive of a greater loss

than the loss of one's self-respect.

Mahatma Gandhi

Jo Frederiks

It is not what we eat but what we digest

that makes us strong;

not what we gain but what we save

that makes us rich;

not what we read but what we remember

that makes us learned; and

not what we profess but what we practice

that gives us integrity.

Francis Bacon

Integrity is choosing your thoughts and actions

based on values rather than personal gain.

Chris Karcher

To think is easy. To act is hard. But the hardest

thing in the world is to act in accordance

with your thinking.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Often, vegan advocates assume that a person's

defensiveness is the result of selfishness or

apathy, when in fact it is much more

likely the result of systematic and

intensive social conditioning.

Melanie Joy

Teaching a child not to step on a caterpillar

is almost as valuable to the child

as it is to the caterpillar.

Bradley Miller

Happiness is when what you think,

what you say and what you do

are in harmony.

Mahatma Gandhi

If a man aspires towards a righteous life,

his first act of abstinence is

from injury to animals.

Albert Einstein

The reward for doing right is mostly

an internal phenomen; self-respect,

dignity, integrity, and self-esteem.

Laura Schlessinger

Manifesting & Receiving

What you think you become.

What you feel you attract.

What you imagine you create.

Buddha

You become what you give your attention to.

Epictetus

Our life is what our thoughts make it.

Marcus Aurelius

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.

Mother Teresa

The safest way to get what you want

is to deserve what you want.

Charlie T. Munger

Believing involves thinking, talking and acting

as though you have already received.

Mastin Kipp

He who is not contended with what he has,

would not be contended with what

he would like to have.

Socrates

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues,

but the parent of all others.

Cicero

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

What's Wrong with Eggs? 🐣

Being vegetarian here also means that we do not

consume dairy and egg products, because they

are products of the meat industry. If we stop

consuming, they will stop producing. Only

collective awakening can create enough

determination for action.

Thich Nhat Hanh

We're exploiting female bodies and abusing the

magic of female animals to create eggs and milk.

Nathalie Portman

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

The animals of the world exist for their own

reasons. They were not made for humans

any more than black people were made

for white, or women created for men.

Alice Walker

Jo Frederiks

We've objectified certain animals so much that

we refer to them as 'livestock'. 'Stock' that just

so happens to be alive. An inconvenience

that they were even alive to begin with.

Ed Winters

Feminine Evolution 🌸

The place between your comfort zone and

your dream is where your life takes place.

Helen Keller

There are no ugly women, only lazy ones.

Helena Rubenstein

A Feminine Impression - Femininity for Teenagers Part 2

Anyone who has never made a mistake

has never tried anything new.

Albert Einstein

Don't chase people. Be yourself, do your own

thing and work hard. The right people - the ones

who really belong in your life - will come to you.

Will Smith

Learning is the beginning of wealth.

Searching and learning is where the miracle

process all begins. The great breakthrough

in your life comes when you realize

that you can learn anything you need to learn

to accomplish any goal that you set for yourself.

These means there are no limits

on what you can be, have or do.

Albert Einstein

A Feminine Impression - 25 Ways I've Changed Since 25

Education is not the learning of facts,

but training of the mind to think.

Albert Einstein

A life spent making mistakes is not only

more honorable, but more useful

than a life spent doing nothing.

George Bernard Shaw

We do not learn from experience...

we learn from reflecting on experience.

John Dewey

Try to learn something about everything

and everything about something.

Thomas Huxley

The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die.

As well the minds which are prevented from

changing their opinions; they cease to be mind.

1. There will always be people that don't like us and that's OK.

5. Your look is half of your package, but only half. Your behavior and personality is what defines you. Confidence, elegance, femininity and authenticity is what makes a woman irresistible.

6. Elegance is an important tool to gain the respect of others. It's about self-respect and respect for others.

7. Don't stress about finding a man. Stress is a blocker. Work on yourself.

1. Change the narrative.

2. Embrace discomfort.
