"A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination."
Nelson Mandela

"All cruelty springs from weakness."
Seneca (9BC - AD65)

"Whenever people say 'We mustn't be sentimental', you can take it they are about to do something cruel. And if they add, 'We must be realistic', they mean they are going to make money out of it."
Brigid Brophy

"War is not the answer
Because only love can conquer hate"
Marvin Gaye, What's Going On

"Every civilising step in history has been ridiculed as 'sentimental', 'impractical' or 'womanish', etc, by those whose fun, profit or convenience was at stake."
Joan Gilbert

"If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere."
Vincent Van Gogh

"It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions."
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)

"I think it always depends on one's opproach to wild animals, whether they regard you as a friend or foe. Our gorillas were not dangerous because we took care not to harrass them. They probably considered us a nuisance but certainly did not fear us. All genuine observers have taken to the 'gentle' apes and speak of them with great affection. The gorillas who attacked hunters and collectors were dangerous because the men were dangerous. Hadn't they come to kill or capture them?"
Walter Baumgartel, Up Among The Mountain Gorillas, pg 107

"The love of all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man."
Charles Darwin (1809 - 1882)

"Cruelty must be whitewashed by a moral excuse, and a pretense of reluctance."
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)

"The old assumption that animals acted exclusively by instinct, while man has a monopoly of reason, is, we think, maintained by few people nowadays who have any knowledge at all about animals. We can only wonder that so absurd a theory could have been held for so long a time as it was, when on all sides the evidence of animals' power of reasoning is crushing."
Ernest Bell (1851 - 1933)

"The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans and more than black people were made for whites or women for men."
Alice Walker

"The more you can increase fear of drugs and crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all the people."
Noam Chomsky

"How pitiful, and what poverty of mind, to have said that the animals are machines deprived of understanding and feeling ... has Nature arranged all the springs of feeling in this animal to the end that he might not feel? Has the nerves that he may be incapable of suffering? People must have renounced, it seems to me, all natural intelligence to dare to advance that animals are but animated machines... It appears to me, besides, that [such people] can never have observed with attention the character of animals, not to have distinguished among them the different Voices of need, of suffering, of joy, of pain, of love, of anger, and of all their affections. It would be very strange that they should express so well what they could not feel. ...They are endowed with life as we are, because they have the same principles of life, the same feelings, the same ideas, memory, industry - as we."
Voltaire (1694 - 1778)

"You never need an argument against the use of violence, you need an argument for it."
Noam Chomsky

"If you talk to the animals, they will talk to you and you will know each other. If you do not talk to them, you will not know them. And what you do not know you will fear. What one fears, one destroys."
Chief Dan George, the First National spiritual leader

"Business is a subset of the environment, not the other way around. You can't have a healthy economy, you can't have a healthy anything in a degraded environment."
Peter Coyote

"Ordinary people need to lead and not sit there and think that governments are going to spoon feed them."
Ian Kiernan, organiser of Clean-Up Australia Day

"Millions of people do not realise how closely connected we humans are with the rest of the animal kingdom. They do not realise that we ourselves are animals. Instead, they perceive a false reality in which humans stand on one side of an unbridgeable chasm and the rest of the animal kingdom stands on the other. Imagine a chimpanzee, so like us in so many ways, reaching out to us across the chasm. There is an unspoken question: 'Will you acknowledge me as 'kin'?' If you dare look into his eyes and take hold of his hand, he will look back toward the other animal beings and then back at you with a question, 'What about them? Don't they matter too?' Indeed, the great apes are like us in so many ways that they serve as ambassadors for all the other wonderful animals with whom we share the planet."
Jane Goodall, The Ten Trusts

"Human diversity makes tolerance more than a virtue; it makes it a requirement for survivial."
Rene Dubos, Celebrations of Life, 1981

"All new ideas go through three stages, ridicule, debate and then finally acceptance. One day it will be thought to be just as absurd to put a value on sentient beings based on species, as it once was based on skin colour. Unfortunately by the time the laughter dies down, there may not be anyone left to say 'Sorry' to."
Leif Cocks, founder and President of the Australian Organutan Project (AOP)

"Those who wish to pet and baby wild animals 'love them'. But those who respect their natures and wish to let them live normal lives, love them more."
Edwin Way Teale, Circle of the Seasons, 1953

"Sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that does not give me the right to be cruel."
Author Unkown

"Teaching a child not to step on a caterpillar is as valuable to the child as it is to the caterpillar."
Bradley Millar

"Peace hath higher tests of manhood
Than battle ever knew."
John Greenleaf Whittier

"Five great enemies to peace inhabit with us: avarice, ambition, envy, anger and pride. If those enemies were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace."
Francesco Petrarch

"An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind."
Mahatma Gandhi

"I have yet to hear a sufficiently compelling scientific argument that justifies the suffering inflicted on primates in medical research."
Dr Charlotte Uhlenbroeck, Primatologist and BBC science presenter

"The ministry of Agriculture defines dogs and cats as companion animals, not livestock. Many Koreans claim that the right to eat dog is a matter of cultural pride stemming from a centuries old tradition. We believe, however, that the habit of eating dogs gained prevalence after the Korean War due to widespread starvation. It grew in popularity after reconstruction because dog dealers and restaurants began to fabricate health benefits derived from eating dog meat. In reality, the trade has more to do with greed and profits than any sort of tradition."
Kyenan Kum, founder of International Aide for Korean Animals

"Until we have the courage to recognise cruelty for what it is - whether it's victim is animal or human - we cannot expect things to be much better in this world... We cannot have peace among men whose hearts delight in killing any living creature. By every act that glorifies or even tolerates such moronic delight in killing we set back the progress of humanity."
Rachel Carson

Albert Einstein Quotes:

"We cannot solve the problems we have created with the same thinking that created them."

"Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction."

"He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed."

"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better."

"Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character."

"It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man."

"Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."
