Cowardice asks the question, "Is it safe?"
Expediency asks the question, "Is it polite?"
Vanity asks the question, "Is it popular?"
But conscience asks the question, "Is it right?"
And there comes a point when one must take
a position that is neither safe, nor polite, nor popular,
but he must take it because his conscience
tells him that it is right...
Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages."
Thomas A. Edison
Animals have the right to:
Swim if they have fins
Run if they have legs
To fly if they have wings!
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
Gandhi, The Moral Basis of Vegetarianism
The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? But rather, Can they suffer?

Mark Twain
You become responsible forever for what you have tamed.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Some people do nothing wrong. The problem is, they do nothing, and that is wrong.
Patrick L. Knueven
The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.
Leonardo Da Vinci
Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
