Progress over Perfection

Continuous improvement is better
than delayed perfection.

Mark Twain



Creativity is intelligence having fun.
Albert Einstein




Life is a constant struggle, much like a wrestling
match, and our success lies in how well we
navigate the unexpected twists and turns.

Marcus Aurelius






I can't give you a sure-fire formula for success,
but I can give you a formula for failure:
try to please everybody all the time.

Herbert Bayard Swope


There is no greatness where there is no
simplicity, goodness and truth.

Leo Tolstoy


We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then is not an act, but a habit.

Aristotle


The two most powerful warriors
are patience and time.

Leo Tolstoy


Change is the only constant in life.
Ones ability to adapt to those changes
will determine your success in life.

Benjamin Franklin


I've decided to be happy because
it's good for my health.

Voltaire


If I had no humor I should long ago
have committed suicide.

Mahatma Gandhi


Your direction is more important
than your speed.

Richard L. Evans


Success consists of stumbling from failure
to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

Winston Churchill


There is a crack in everything,
that's how the light gets in.

Leonard Cohen


Failure is success in progress.
Albert Einstein


Those who know, do.
Those that understand, teach.

Aristotle


Truth, like gold, is to be obtained
not by its growth, but by washing away
from it all that is not gold.

Leo Tolstoy


I learned through my body and soul that it was
necessary to sin, that I needed lust, that I had to
strive for property and experience nausea and
the depths of despair in order to learn not to
resist them, in order to learn to love the world,
and no longer compare it with some kind of
desired imaginary vision of perfection, but
to leave it as it is, to love it
and be glad to belong to it.

Hermann Hesse

πŸ₯©Meat is Murder πŸ‘πŸ–πŸ„πŸ“

From beasts we scorn as soulless,

In forest, field and den,

The cry goes up to witness,

The soullessness of men.


M. Frida Hartley



Flesh eating is unprovoked murder.
Benjamin Franklin

Jo Frederiks

The butcher with his bloody apron incites
bloodshed, murder... From cutting the throat
of a young calf to cutting the throats of
our brothers and sisters is but a step.
While we ourselves are living
graves of murdered animals...

Isadora Duncan


You either approve of violence or you don't,
and nothing on Earth is more violent
or extreme than the meat industry.

Morrissey

Feeling comfortable?

Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty
for what it is - whether its victim is human
or animal - we cannot expect things
to be much better in this world.

Rachel Carson


Cruelty to animals is as if man did not love
God... there is something so satanic in
tormenting those who have never harmed us,
and who cannot defend themselves,
who are utterly in our power.

John Henry Newman

Jo Frederiks

However scrupulously the slaughterhouse is
concealed in the graceful distance of miles,
there is complicity.

Ralph Waldo Emerson


Unless and until you are prepared to look
at the whole truth; and wherever it may go,
if you want to look the other way or
if you want to play favourites, then
somewhere along the line you're going to
find out that you're messing with divine justice.

Jordan Maxwell


Truly man is the king of beasts.
We live by the death of others.
We are burial places.

Leonardo da Vinci

Jo Frederiks

All beings tremble before violence.
All fear death, all love life.
See yourself in others.
Then whom can you hurt?
What harm can you do?

Buddha


If you don't like seeing pictures of violence
towards animals being posted,
you need to help stop the violence,
not the pictures.

Marie Sarantakis


Ruthless man... You turn against the dead flesh,
it revolts you, it must be transformed by fire,
boiled and roasted, seasoned and disguised with
drugs; you must have butchers, cooks, turnspits,
men who will rid the murder if its horrors,
who will dress the dead bodies so that the taste
deceived by these disguises will not reject what
is strange to it, and will feast on corpses,
the very sight of which would sicken you.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau


Indifference is the acid of life.
It erodes all the spirit that's in us
and makes us useless to anyone else.

Joan D. Chittister


The scariest thing about hearing the slaughter
is the silence that comes afterwards...
because you know there was a life...
and now there isn't.

Tal Gilboa
