It is our choice of good or evil
that determines our character,
not our opinion about good or evil.
Aristotle
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
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
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
