The only way to have
a friend is to be one.
The eye's are the window's
of the soul
Until mankind can extend
his circle of compassion
to include all living
things, he will never, himself, know peace.
A friend is someone who
knows the song in your heart
and will sing it back
to you when you forget the words.
Lose yourself in nature
and find peace.
The state of your life
is nothing more
than a reflection of
your state of mind.
What lies behind us and
what lies before us
are tiny matters compared
to what lies within
The greatness of a nation
and its moral progress can be judged by the way
its animals are treated
~ Mohandas Gandhi
He who is cruel to animals
becomes hard also in his dealings with men.
We can judge the heart
of a man by his treatment of animals.
Not to hurt our humble
brethren (the animals)
is our first duty to
them, but to stop there is not enough.
We have a higher mission
- to be of service to them whenever they require it.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion
and pity, you will have
men who will deal likewise with their fellow men."
-- Saint Francis of Assisi
The only species that
attacks and mutilates its own kind for no reason is Man
Therefore teaching of
tolerance and acceptance is needed for all of us
Into each life some rain
must fall.
Some days must be dark
and dreary.
Animals are such agreeable
friends;
they ask no questions,
they pass no criticisms.
-- George Eliot
If you've never been scared
or embarrassed or hurt,
it means you never take
any chances.
-- Julia Soul
Do not regret growing
older. It's a privilege denied to many.
If you put a small value
upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price.
The true measure of a
man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.
If we keep doing
what we're doing, we're going to keep getting what we're getting.
It is not what they take away from you that counts. It's what you do with what you have left.
Even God can't change the past.
Those who contemplate
the beauty of the earth
find reserves of strength
that will endure as long as life lasts.
-- Rachel Carson
The soul would have no
rainbow
had the eyes no tears.
After all is said and done, there is usually more said than done.
When you're average, you're just as close to the bottom as you are the top
The best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your own arm.
Some make it happen, some watch it happen, and some say, "what happened?
Before you give someone
a piece of your mind, be sure you can get along with what you have left.
He has the right to criticize
who has the heart to help.
