A “The day may come when the rest of the animal creation may acquire those rights which never could have been withholden from them but by the hand of tyranny.”
B “A man is really ethical only when he obeys the constraint laid on him to help all life which he is able to succour, and when he goes out of his way to avoid injuring anything living.”
C “Is it not a reproach that man is a carnivorous animal?”
D “The spirit of God is with animals as it is with us, consciously with us, unconsciously with them.  We are not divided, but are one in God’s care and love.”

G “The question is: IN what sense does the non human have rights?  According to Kant, only rational beings have rights.  The sole reason he sees for being kind to animals is that being unkind to them tends to carry over into unkindness to persons.  I agree with Schweitzer and almost the entire Eastern world that this will not do.  A better reason for treating animals kindly is that their lives, too, have intrinsic value.”
H “But what have I to do with butchers?  The death-set eyes of beasts accuse me of belonging to the race of murderers.”

J “The insect in the plant, the moth which spends its brief hours of existence hovering about the candle’s flame–nay, the life which inhabits a drop of water, is as much an object of God’s special providence as the mightiest monarch on his throne.”
K “I lost all desire for meat, if I ever had it, and all through life to the present, have only eaten it when I just for the sake of appearance.  The bountiful ground has always yielded enough for my needs and wants.”
