Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.
The highest form of worship is the worship of unselfish Christian service. The greatest form of praise is the sound of consecrated feet seeking out the lost and helpless.
One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.
I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.
Forgiveness is the final form of love.
He who cannot forgive breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass.
He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.
Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.
You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings.
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.
People often say that humans have always eaten animals, as if this is a justification for continuing the practice. According to this logic, we should not try to prevent people from murdering other people, since this has also been done since the earliest of times.
Veganism is not about giving anything up or losing anything; it is about gaining the peace within yourself that comes from embracing nonviolence and refusing to participate in the exploitation of the vulnerable.
The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality.
No matter what is the environment around you, it is always possible to maintain your brand of integrity.
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.
Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.
