Know thyself.
Oracle of Delphi
The unexamined life is not worth living.
Socrates
A little learning is a dangerous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring;
Shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
Drinking largely sobers us again.
Alexander Pope, An
Essay On Criticism, 1711
He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a
fool; shun him.
He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is a child; teach him.
He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep; wake him.
He who knows, and knows that he knows, is wise; follow him.
Sufi proverb
Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege
to do so, too.
François-Marie Aroue (Voltaire), Essay
on Tolerance
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending
too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.
Thomas Jefferson, letter to Archibald Stuart,
1791
Always do right. This will gratify some and astonish the
rest.
Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)
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
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nothing in excess.
Oracle of Delphi
Diet
It is my view that the vegetarian manner
of living by its purely physical effect on the human temperament would most
beneficially influence the lot of mankind.
Albert
Einstein, letter to Vegetarian Watch-Tower, December 27, 1930
A man can live and be healthy without killing
animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal
life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral.
Leo
Tolstoy, On Civil Disobedience and Nonviolence, 1886
I, for my part, wonder what sort
of feeling, mind or reason that man was possessed who was first to pollute
his mouth with gore, and allow his lips to touch the flesh of a murdered being;
who spread his table with the mangled form of dead bodies, and claimed as daily
food and dainty dishes what but know were beings endowed with with movement,
with perception and with voice.
Mestrius Plutarchus (Plutarch),
Moralia (Moral Essays)
Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances
for survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
Albert Einstein
The time will come when men such as I will look upon the
murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.
Leonardo da Vinci
I
have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual
improvement, to leave off eating animals.
Henry David Thoreau
I do feel that spiritual progress does demand, at some stage,
that we should cease to kill our fellow creatures for the satisfaction of our
bodily wants.
Mahatma Gandhi
To become vegetarian is to step into the stream which
leads to nirvana.
Buddha
