“Military weapons are the means used by the Sage to punish violence and cruelty, to give peace to troublous times, to remove difficulties and dangers, and to succor those who are in peril. Every animal with blood in its veins and horns on its head will fight when it is attacked. How much more so will man, who carries in his breast the faculties of love and hatred, joy and anger! When he is pleased, a feeling of affection springs up within him; when angry, his poisoned sting is brought into play. That is the natural law which governs his being” MenGivingMeanWarPlayFeelingsLawUsedJoyFightingNaturalAnimalViolenceBloodMilitaryDangerWeaponsSpringHatredDifficultyAngryAffectionCrueltyBreastsRemoveCarrieFacultySageVeinsPerilHornsNatural LawHatred And LoveMilitary WeaponsViolence And Cruelty Author:Sima Qian

“People who take the risk make a tremendous discovery: The more things you care about, and the more intensely you care, the more alive you are. This capacity for caring can illuminate any relationship: marriage, family, friendships-even the ties of affection that often join humans and animals. Each of us is born with some of it, but whether we let it expand or diminish is largely up to us. To care, you have to surrender the armor of indifference. You have to be willing to act, to make the first move.” PeopleFirstsHumansCareMovingBornAnimalAliveRiskWillingDiscoveryCapacityAffectionCaringSurrenderIndifferenceTiesDiminishArmorFamily FriendsHumans And Animals Author:Arthur Gordon Webster

“When I look at birds and animals, their survival is without rules, without conditions, without organization. But mothers take good care of their offspring. That's nature. In human beings also, parents - particularly mothers - and children have a special bond. Mother's milk is a sign of this affection. We are created that way. The child's survival is entirely dependent on someone else's affection. So, basically, each individual's survival or future depends on society. We need these human values.” WayNeedsHumansLooksChildrenCareMotherValuesIndividualParentHuman BeingsAnimalSpecialConditionsDependsSurvivalBirdOrganizationAffectionDependentMilkOffspringHuman ValuesMother And Child Author:Dalai Lama
“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.” PeopleNeedsFeelsShouldWellsDifferentCharacterSeemsWould BePainJoySufferingHumanityVoiceNaturalAnimalAttentionStrangeMachinesPhilosophicalAffectionDareCrueltyVeganAnimal RightsDistinguishedAnimatedAnimal WelfareAnimal CrueltyAnimal WorldAnimal LifeAnimal EthicsAnimal TestingKindness To AnimalsDifferent VoicesDifferent AnimalsAnimal SufferingAnimal IntelligenceNatural Intelligence Author:Voltaire
