Respect life and life will respect you.
Love life and love will shower blessings on you.

Rajneesh


Animals are my friends...
and I don't eat my friends.

I did not become a vegan for my health,
I did it for the health of the chickens.

The story of the chicken is the saddest story
ever told, and we are its authors.

T.B.A


The beauty you see in me

is a reflection of you.

Leo Tolstoy




Now I can look at you in peace;
I don't eat you anymore.

Franz Kafka


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.

a vote for the kind of world you want.

shattered it will reach you everywhere.

Awaken to Your Destiny

You are not a drop in the ocean;
You are the entire ocean in a drop.

Rumi


The universe experiences itself through you
for a brief moment called life.

Eckhart Tolle


Pursuing self-esteem can be motivating,
but other sources of motivation, such as
goals that are good for the self and others,
can provide the same motivation
without the costs.

Jennifer Crocker & Lora Park

Jo Frederiks

I sometimes try to imagine what would have
happened if we'd known the bonobo first
and the chimpanzee only later - or not at all.
The discussion about human evolution might not
revolve as much around violence, warfare and
male dominance, but rather around sexuality,
empathy, caring and cooperation.

Frans de Waal


I believe that we are all creative beings and
that you were placed here on this earth
to create something of value to the world.
Something that will help others break free,
something that lights you up with passion and
something that is larger than just you.

Mastin Kipp


Service to others is the rent you pay
for your room here on earth.

Muhammad Ali


The meaning of life is to find your gift.
The purpose of life is to give it away.

Pablo Picasso


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.

George Bernard Shaw



Success, like happiness, cannot be pursued;
it must ensue, and it only does so as the side
effect of one's personal dedication to a cause
greater than oneself.

Viktor Frankl


If you want to live a happy life,
tie it to a goal, not to people or objects.

Albert Einstein


Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and
go to the grave with the song still in them.

Henry David Thoreau


The best way to find yourself is to
lose yourself in the service of others.

Mahatma Gandhi


Life's most important and urgent question is:
what are you doing for others?

Martin Luther King, Jr.


Culture eats strategy for breakfast.
Peter Drucker


The thing about real life is that important events
don't announce themselves... Usually something
that is going to change your whole life is
a memory before you can stop and
be impressed about it.

Edith Schaeffer


The really important kind of freedom involves
attention, and awareness, and discipline, and
effort, and being able truly to care about other
people and to sacrifice for them, over and over,
in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day.

David Foster Wallace


Two roads diverged in a wood and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost


Everything that's happened in your life
up until now has been preparing you
to live your purpose. These have been lessons
and now it's your time to step into your purpose
and make your mark. You are stronger than
your circumstances and what other people say.
There is something within you that is only
yours to give. Give us all you've got.

Mastin Kipp

Animal Holocaust

Auschwitz begins wherever someone
 looks at a slaughterhouse and thinks:
they're only animals.

Theodor Adorno


Do you know why so many survivors of
the Holocaust are vegan? Because
they know what it's like to be
treated like an animal.

Chuck Palahniuk


Human beings see oppression vividly
when they are the victims. Otherwise
they victimize blindly and without a thought.

Isaac Bashevis Singer


Holocaust victims were treated like animals,
and so logically we can conclude that
animals are treated like Holocaust victims.

Matt Prescott


Everyone believes in the atrocities of the enemy
and disbelieves in those of his own side,
without ever bothering to examine the evidence.

George Orwell


Let me say it openly: we are surrounded by an
enterprise of cruelty which rivals anything that
the Third Reich was capable of, indeed dwarfs it,
in that ours is an enterprise without end,
self-regenerating, bringing animals ceaselessly
into the world for the purpose of killing them.

John Maxwell Coetzee


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


Only when we have become non violent
towards all life will we have learned
to live well with others.

CΓ©sar ChΓ‘vez


'Never again' is not about what others shouldn't
do to us. It's about what we shouldn't do
to others. 'Never again' means that we must
never again perpetrate mass atrocities
against other living beings.

Alex Hershaft


In relation to animals, all people are Nazis;
for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka.

Isaac Bashevis Singer

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.

River Phoenix


Make a habit of two things -
to help, or at least, to do no harm.

Hippocrates


Whenever you are creating beauty around you,
you are restoring your own soul.

Alice Walker


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.

Jeremy Bentham


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.

Hippocrates


Everything that you love, you will eventually
lose, but in the end, love will return
in a different form.

Franz Kafka


Love is the beauty of the soul.
Saint Augustine


Grief is the price we pay for love.
Queen Elisabeth II


Be kind to all creatures.
This is the true religion.

Buddha

Right to Rescue

Never, never be afraid to do what's right,
especially if the well-being of 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.


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


The greatest danger to a society is not rebellion,
but the gradual acceptance of injustice.

Gustave Le Bone


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


Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God.
Benjamin Franklin


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 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



Vivisection is a crime.
Victor Hugo


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

πŸ’ž Holy Cow πŸ„

Cows are amongst the gentlest of breathing
creatures; none show more passionate tenderness
to their young when deprived of them; and,
in short, I am not ashamed to profess a deep
love for these quiet creatures.

Thomas de Quincey


The animals you eat are not those who devour
others; you do not eat the carnivorous beasts,
you take them as your pattern. You only
hunger for the sweet and gentle creatures
which harm no one, which follow you,
serve you, and are devoured by you
as the reward of their service.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau


We know things about her that no one should
ever know, or want to know, about a fellow
being... the taste, texture and flavor of every
aspect of her despair, degradation and defeat.

We know every detail of what we have forced
her to be - an object to consume and excrete.
What we don't know, what we don't want to
know, is what we must know if we are
to restore our own humanity: who she is.

Joanna Lucas


 If we could live happy and healthy lives
without harming others,
why wouldn't we?

Pam Ahern


Animals are my friends...
and I don't eat my friends.

George Bernard Shaw



What we call love is in its essence
reverence for life.

Albert Schweitzer


This image was taken on a "kill line" inside
a slaughterhouse... My heart is
irreparably broken.

Sande Seldman Nosonowitz



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.

Jeremy Bentham


Man is as much a parasite on the cow
as the tapeworm is on man.

Milan Kundera




To know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived. This is
to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson


Animals have personalities like people.
Walt Disney


In every living being there is the desire for love.
D.H. Lawrence


A mother's love does not derive from
the intellect but from the emotions,
in animals just as in humans.

Maimonides


Now I can look at you in peace;
I don't eat you anymore.

Franz Kafka


In the end, only three things matter:
how much you loved, how gently you
lived, and how gracefully you let go
of things not meant for you.

Buddha
