🌱 The Vegan Community 🌻

People working together in a strong community
with a shared goal and a common purpose
can make the impossible possible.

If you think we can't change the world,
it just means you're not one of those who will.

will look upon the murder of animals
as they now look upon the murder of men.

Think about what your skills are, and what you
enjoy doing, or what you're good at and
employ those specific skills to make
the world a better place.

Jo-Anne McArthur


Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked,
in which you can walk with love and reverence.

Henry David Thoreau


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


The key is to keep company only with people who
uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.

Epictetus



All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.

Arthur Schopenhauer


Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

Margaret Mead


A man can live and be healthy without killing
animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat,
he participates in taking life merely
for the sake of his appetite.
And to act so is immoral.

Leo Tolstoy


You meet saints everywhere.
They are people behaving decently
in an indecent society.

Kurt Vonnegut


We can judge the heart of a man
by his treatment of animals.

The thing that's annoying about there suddenly
being a lot of vegans is the nagging suspicion
that they might be right.

the way he treats his fellow animals.

I'm so proud to be a vegan.
It's the best decision I have ever made.
For my health and for the world and
for the sake of decency and compassion.

Being vegan helped me realize I can say and do
what I believe is right. That's powerful.

Alicia Silverstone







Truth has to be repeated constantly,
because Error also is being preached all the time,
and not just by a few, but by the multitude. In
the Press, Encyclopaedias, in Schools and
Universities, everywhere Error holds sway,
feeling happy and comfortable in
the knowledge of having Majority on its side.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


We are all victims of the violence that animals
suffer... their liberation is also our liberation.

George Bernard Shaw


My awareness of belonging to the invisible
community of those who strive for truth,
beauty and justice has prevented me
from feelings of isolation.

Albert Einstein


Be the change you want to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi



People who say things like "I can't worry
about animals when there are humans
who need help" tend to do f*ck all
to help humans neither...
Kindness is kindness. Simple as that.

Ricky Gervais


My life is my message.
Mahatma Gandhi



We are only as strong as we are united,
as weak as we are divided.

J.K. Rowling



Those who love peace must learn to organize
as effectively as those who love war.

Martin Luther King, Jr.



The day the power of love overrules the love
of power, the world will know peace.

Mahatma Gandhi

Be an Activist

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


We must take sides. Neutrality helps
the oppressor, never the victim.
Silence encourages the tormentor,
never the tormented.

Elie Wiesel


What you do makes a difference,
and you have to decide what kind
of difference you want to make.

Jane Goodall


The world will not be destroyed by those
who do evil, but by those who watch
 them without doing anything.

Albert Einstein


There are many noteworthy examples of
ordinary evil in every culture and country
around the globe, but in terms of preventable
evil I am hard pressed to find any examples
that approach those systematically perpetrated
by humans against the members of other species.

Lawrence Pope


It is more important to prevent animal suffering,
rather than sit to contemplate the evils
of the universe.

Buddha


The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression
and cruelty by the bad people but
the silence over that by the good people.

Martin Luther King, Jr.


- Make a clear intention - how do I want to contribute to this world?
- Take a leap of faith. Don't let fear determine your actions.
- Personal branding & communication skills to reach as many as possible.
- Plant seeds. You never know what they will grow into.
- Use your strengths. Direct them towards your mission.
- Have a positive vibe. Nudge and be inclusive but always maintain a clear message.


You can also commit injustice
by doing nothing.

Marcus Aurelius


Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do.
Voltaire


Do your little bit of good where you are;
it's those little bits of good put together
that overwhelm the world.

A good person will resist an evil system
with his whole soul.

Think about what your skills are, and what you
enjoy doing, or what you're good at and
employ those specific skills to make
the world a better place.

catastrophe of our time and is also
the most neglected one.

Rutger Bregman


An active minority always wins out
over a passive majority.

Robert Thompson


Our lives no longer belong to us alone:
they belong to all those who
need us desperately.

Eli Wiesel


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


Terror becomes total when it becomes
independent of all opposition; it rules
supreme when nobody any longer stands
in its way. If lawfulness is the essence of
non-tyrannical government and lawlessness
is the essence of tyranny, then terror is
the essence of totalitarian domination.

Hannah Arendt


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


If you are neutral in situations of injustice,
you have chosen the side of the oppressor.

Desmond Tutu


People who say it cannot be done
should not interrupt those who are doing it.

George Bernard Shaw


Those who love peace must learn to organize
as effectively as those who love war.

Martin Luther King, Jr.


There are many causes I would die for.
There is not a single cause I would kill for.

Mahatma Gandhi


People working together in a strong community
with a shared goal and a common purpose
can make the impossible possible.

Tom Vilsack


May our broken hearts fuel us to fix our world.
Cloe Wade


The difference between what we do and what we
are capable of doing would suffice to solve
most of the world's problems.

Mahatma Gandhi


Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed citizens can change the world;
indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

Margaret Mead


When exposing a crime is treated as committing
a crime, you are being ruled by criminals.

Edward Snowden


Culture eats strategy for breakfast.
Peter Drucker


What you want to ignite in others
must first burn inside yourself.

Charlotte BrontΓ«


Just one candle can light another and can light
thousands of other candles, so one heart
illuminates another heart and can
illuminate thousands of other hearts.

Leo Tolstoy


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


Life is no brief candle to me.
It is a sort of splendid torch
which I have got a hold of for the moment and
I want to make it burn as brightly as possible
before handing it on to future generations.

George Bernard Shaw


Be the change you want to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
