"Of all the black crimes that humanity..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“Our nonviolence in respect of the Government is a result of our incapacity for effective violence.”

“The seeker is at liberty to extract from this treasure any meaning he likes, so as to enable him to enforce in his life the central teaching.”

“The truest test of a democracy is in the ability of anyone to act as he likes, so long as he does not injure the life or property of anyone else.”

“While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered animals, how can we expect any ideal living conditions on this earth?”

“We cut the throat of a calf and hang it up by the heels to bleed to death so that our veal cutlet may be white; we nail geese to a board and cram them with food because we like the taste of liver disease; we tear birds to pieces to decorate our women's hats; we mutilate domestic animals for no reason at all except to follow an instinctively cruel fashion; and we connive at the most abominable tortures in the hope of discovering some magical cure for our own diseases by them.”

“Answer me, you who believe that animals are only machines. Has nature arranged for this animal to have all the machinery of feelings only in order for it not to have any at all?”

“A healthy-minded boy should feel hearty contempt for the coward and even more hearty indignation for the boy who bullies girls or small boys, or tortures animals.”

“I'd rather be kind than right. You can always be kind.”

“Never do to others what you would not like them to do to you.”
